So 'jeack.com.au' still exists as a domain, it is not merely an alias for rhn1@hotkey .net .au ? ; thanks for the info( whois.ausregistry.com.au ) by the way, regards Rohan McLeod
Sure does, but as the contacts are pointing at Hotkey and as was noted elsewhere, the company no longer appears to exist, the domain would appear to be in limbo as far as exerting any control over it.
cheers Brian When you say 'in limbo', I take it you are referring to the fact that the registrant is still shown as Jeack Pty Ltd; a company taken over by Hotkey Pty Ltd and presumably no longer in existence. Do you think the fact that the registrant has not been updated to Hotkey is just slackness on Hotkey's part; or reflects some convention of commercial law ? I suppose the basis for this question is that I am quite attached to the address and should Hotkey just announce one day that it is no longer available; is there anything I could do about it ? regards Rohan McLeod

Well as the .com.au name space is regulated such that there is ** supposed ** to be a commercially registered entity with an identical or at least obviously related name associated with domains, the fact that Jeack no longer exists would seem to forfeit the right to that domain. Practically however, I suspect there is no mechanism to pick that up and as long as the domain is renewed and the entity renewing it asserts that right to renew it, nobody is likely to notice. Whether you personally can exert any control over the domain however would seem to depend entirely on Hotkey. cheers Brian
