According to Enetica, one can use one’s nickname as a domain name in the .id.au 2LD. Here is part of an e-mail that I sent to Enetica enquiring about random.id.au:
You have allowed a company (Random Technologies) to register in the .id.au 2LD (random.id.au). This is in direct breach of Schedule D of auDA’s Domain Name Eligibility and Allocation Rules for the Open 2LDs (2002-07). What action, if any, will you be taking in this matter?
And here is their reply:
Thanks, for your email,
the registrant of random.id.au is Edson Galindo, the contact details he has provided are not relevant to his eligibility to hold that domain.
Edson has warranted that the domain is somehow related to himself, ie his nickname, and as such he is eligible to hold that domain.
Of course, I have no claim to that domain name either. I was just curious to see what their response would be. Enetica interpretation of auDA’s rules is very strange, to say the least!
