Updates to Reserved Names List

Posted by auDA on 3 July 2019

auDA is seeking community feedback on some proposed additions to the Reserved Names List.

At its June 2019 meeting the auDA Board accepted a proposal from Australia's Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) to reserve the following names at the .au 2nd level:

  • All domain names at the second level of .au that match a name in gov.au in the form <name>gov.au. 

    For example: ato.gov.au exists in gov.au, and the Board has reserved atogov.au .

  

Names Reserved for Future Use as Second Level Namespaces

auDA is seeking feedback on the DTA proposal that the following names be reserved for future use as second level namespaces:

nationalpark.au / nationalparks.au

archive.au / archives.au

parliament.au / parl.au

election.au / elections.au

mil.au / military.au

library.au / libraries.au
