Pacific Octane Pty Ltd

Archive for the ‘Domain Industry’ Category

Pacific Octane Pty Ltd has acquired a true monster of a domain name in v8.com.au.  V8 during the month of October 2009 was searched locally here in Australia 1,500,000 times and 5,000,000 globally.  Pacific Octane Pty Ltd is currently seeking expressions of interest from industry related companies looking to partner with us on the development of this monster domain name.  Please contact James on 0401 725 885 if you would like to be considered in a participating role of V8.com.au that is set to launch in March 2010.

If you are a fellow member of auDA and you have been contacted by individuals and/or others soliciting upon their behalf, perhaps you are just as annoyed as I am regarding the lack of respect that this has shown and also demonstrated in my opinion of what is WRONG with auDA at present time.

Where have these people been the last year?  I have studied political science and I am very switched on when it comes to how the dynamics of certain individuals within an organisation can create more synergy and achieve more.  What I don’t understand is how the same individuals can even work up the courage to ask for a vote or a vote on someone’s behalf that doesn’t have any interest in industry growth.

Domain owners within the .au domain market want change.  auDA will remain a controlled environment until NEW people are put into play and unless that happens, expect no change.  I see the perceptions of policy growing wider as the noose around the necks of domainers keeps tightening.

Where is the marketing of this great product the .au domain name?  When will auDA actually change and begin incorporating TRADITIONAL CAPITALIST STRATEGIES into their business plan?  When will they start being proactive in tracking down individuals that ABUSE the dispute policy and actually PROSECUTE them based on MALICIOUS INTENT?

Wake up people.  If you own more than 50 .au domain names, you need to be a member of auDA.

I am voting this board election.  I want my vote to make a difference.  I only hope that the hopeless chain of communistic and prehistoric business practices can be abolished in the coming year.

As for the persons emailing us for voting support I say to you:  “Do the right thing and contact us for a chat.  In the coming year, how about let’s get together for a beer and some structured conversation.  Why not incorporate a State by State get together of white board meetings and fundraising to propel an industry into the mainstream so EVERYBODY can MAKE MORE MONEY!”
