We no longer have a functional AUNIC, at least it doesn't handle any IP
addresses any more and is looking at relinquishing (said loosely) GOV.AU
and EDU.AU, not that it should have ANYTHING to do with Domain Names anyway
- really.
AUNIC is also reposible for creating and distributing the .AU Zone file as
well as COM.AU, INFO.AU, GOV.AU and EDU.AU.
NET.AU, ASN.AU and ID.AU are all administered by ISPs (directly or indirectly)
Talk about nepotism.
