We just passed a huge milestone: over 1,000 of us have signed the petition to stop auDA’s proposed licensing rule changes.

Momentum is building fast. Domain industry leaders and small business advocates are reposting the campaign on their social media pages, and decision-makers are starting to take notice.

Even better, the mainstream media is picking up on what’s at stake for Australian businesses:

What’s Next & How You Can Help:

Breaking 1,000 signatures and getting national press coverage proves auDA cannot ignore this issue. But to get the board to listen and drop Recommendation 2, we need to keep pushing.

If you haven’t already, please share this petition on LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and Facebook today. Every share brings in more business owners who don't know their domains are on the line.

Thank you to everyone who has signed, commented, and shared so far. Let's keep the pressure on.
