Todd,
Indeed I did mean org.au my bad.
And the rest sounds fine. Regarding auctions, I believe that we do want to be
able to post auction announcemnet/updates, but i'd expect that it won't end up
being just a marketplace as the auction postings here will be only within
Australian users (and there isn't quite that many of us yet).
I would like to hear from anyone that objects to this though.
What I'd suggest is that we prepare some guidelines for usage of org.au that
says that any auction announcement/update says so clearly in the subject
header, so that those not interested can avoid reading it.
As for the charter, I'm fine by it, but again if anyone has any concerns, say
so.
