Didn't think I'd be doing this again, but here we are.
#AuDA are pulling the same stunt with my radio club that they pulled with me 18 months ago, lodging a domain dispute and giving us saying the organisation is not eligible as at not-for-profit and giving us 14 days to prove otherwise.
This is despite:
1) Section 1.4 of their administration policy defining an NFP as an incorporated association.
2) Said club is an incorporated association.
3) Said club provided the incorporated association registration certificate when they applied for the domain.
Having resupplied the association certificate, I hope this is more straight forward than the last interaction I have had with AuDA.
Having said this, I wonder what the hell is going on at AuDA and if this is part of a data verification activity that this is a gross abuse of the dispute process.
A simple “hi, its been x years can we verify your details” would have been enough if that's all this is about.
Anyway, instead I am now going to find the complaints process to (try) and hold AuDA to account, because this behaviour just stinks.
@saera not sure if you still have any involvement over there, but any suggestions who I could best contact? :)
