Today, auDA released the following press release:
“auDA is pleased to announce the appointment of members to the General Advisory Standing Committee (GASC) and the Technical Advisory Standing Committee (TASC).

General Advisory Standing Committee
As outlined in the auDA constitution:
The role of the General Advisory Standing Committee is to receive and consider submissions from members of the general public who are interested in the management, operations, decisions or actions of the Company.

Both committees will hold their initial meetings shortly. Committee members will be contacted individually in this regard. auDA will be providing administrative and logistical support to the committees and the initial meetings will be held at the auDA offices.
Each committee will be able co-opt and attract additional members on a case-by-case basis.
auDA would like to extend its thanks to those who applied to join the committees and looks forward to working with them to help move .au forward.”
So curiously do you know what percentage of these committee members represent domainers and what percentage represent registrars?
Good question Rudy.
Let’s put up a little bit of research here, next to each individual’s name…
Let’s concentrate on the General Advisory Committee first…
Perhaps other people can chime in if they know of / have heard of one of the members?
