From: Jacqui Lefevre Sent: Monday, 8 October 2012 2:22 PM To: paul.szyndler@auda.org.au Subject: response to auDA Industry Advisory Panel To the auDA Industry Advisory Panel, Domain Name Registrar (Australia) trading as Domain Registration Services is a .au accredited Registrar, having first entered the marketplace in early 2003. We wish to respond to the draft recommendations, more specifically to Issue 1. The method of 2LD registry operator selection/appointment post-2014. We are in full support of an extended contractual arrangement with AusRegistry and suggest this be for the maximum 4 year term. We do not wish to see a change of Registry Operator in the foreseeable future and trust that the panel will take into consideration the views of AusRegistry’s direct clients in this matter. Thank you for your time. Jacqui Lefevre Chief Executive Officer Domain Registration Services
