It is now crystal clear what the intention of the current PRP is.
Today, they released this statement on their Domain Monetisation stance:
https://auda.org.au/assets/Policies/Clarification-from-the-Policy-Review-Panel.pdf
Most notably they state the following:
The Panel’s current view is that the current policy concerning Domain Monetisation (Policy 2012-04, Schedule C, paragraph 3; Policy 2012-05, section 11) will not be included in the new suite of policies that the Panel will recommend to the Board.
Most notably on Page 2, they state the following:
The Panel’s current view is to recommend that any new eligibility and allocation rules should apply on the next renewal of a domain name license. This will give domain name licensees who meet the current rules, but who will not meet any new rules, time to deal with the non-compliance.
Story developing.
