Just as a point of clarification, disincorporation would mean that "LUV, Inc." would not exist, i.e., a separate legal entity.
Does not existing mean that luv has to surrender the luv.asn.au domain name and move to a subdomain under the parent body?
I thought about this when I read about the change. The rules you posted below confirm there shouldn't be a problem.
ELIGIBILITY AND ALLOCATION RULES FOR ASN.AU
The asn.au 2LD is for non-commercial organisations.
We would continue to meet this criteria.
The following rules are to be read in conjunction with the Eligibility and Allocation Rules for All Open 2LDs, contained in Schedule A of this document. 1. To be eligible for a domain name in the asn.au 2LD, registrants must be non-commercial organisations as follows: […] a) an association incorporated in any Australian State or Territory; or
tick, LA is an incorporated association.
d) a sporting or special interest club operating in Australia; or
As a LA sub committee LUV would continue to be a special interest club As with all .au domains, you must use the legal name, a trademark, a product name, a service name or a name you have a strong connection with. I think LA would have no problem proving a strong connection. Disclaimer: IANAL but I've registered a few .au domains with somewhat questionable connections over the years. Cheers Dave
