It took nearly 10 years to make it effective. In other words, the registry has taken the necessary measures to ensure that this launch takes place in accordance with the best safety and efficiency practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the general opening of the extension to the public, holders of .COM.AU domain names should be granted a period of 6 months during which they will be able to register their domain names directly in .AU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The registry also specifies that the registration of an .AU domain name will be open to companies, individuals and organisations that can demonstrate an Australian presence.
