''Update of the Allocation Criteria for .AU Domains''

The Australian TLD administration auDA (.AU, .COM.AU, ORG.AU, .NET.AU, .ASN.AU, .ID.AU) has updated the allocation criteria for its domains. In detail, this concerns the assignment of natural or legal persons (API parameter x-au-domain-relationtype) to the respective TLD (API parameter zone) in the API extensions. The affected transaction types are: addDomain, modifyDomain, and tradeDomain
