When I started getting gTLD's, it cost $20 per year for a gTLD, and $125 
for two years, for a ccTLD in the .au domain, as melbourneIT had a 
monopoly on the .au domain.

auDA, from my experience, is concerned only with its own interests, and 
wholeheartedly supports domain name piracy and general corruption.

If you believe that you can influence any decision of the auDA, then 
good luck to you, but my experience is that, like members of 
parliaments, they regard themselves as being exempt from any laws, and 
not accountable to anyone.
