Kirrily Robert (skud@athene.glasswings.com.au) said something about:

no.. .org.au registrations are still accepted.. i had one get approved a few 
weeks ago

I have a similar problem as well..

A friend who runs a tornamont every few weeks for a game called MAGIC wants a 
domain and web site... legally he doesnt exist... same as kirrily's problem 
(hi hon!) and I have currently advised him to go register a business name for
$100 (NSW)

He wants www.eastwoodmagic.XXX.au

he doesnt care what the XXX is

com? nope not commercial
net? nope, not a network every few weeks for a game called MAGIC wants a 
domain and web site... legally he doesnt exist... same as kirrily's problem 
(hi hon!) and I have currently advised him to go register a business name for
$100 (NSW)

He wants www.eastwoodmagic.XXX.au

he doesnt care what the XXX is

com? nope, not commercial
net? nope, not a network
gov/edu uuuhhh nope.
org? hmm technically yes, but legally he doesnt exist.
asn? michael seems to want a legally existing organisation

eastwoodmagic.id.au would be fine.. but not an option
and www.eastwoodmagic.someflower.id.au seems a little xtreme dont we think?

I think a new TLD .au domain needs creation for this purpose, or for .org.au
to clearly define its purpose and open itself to more requests.

I know a few people in the construction industry... they are wanting to put a
512K link into some new building, ethernet in each apartment...

what domain would they get? a community of people sharing a link...
a network? maybe, but not technically an isp.... a company? not really...

any suggestions on the above?
