State of .au

State of .au brings together derived public summaries from the fixed .auDO observation panel. It shows visible domain-layer signals across DNS, RDAP, mail posture, registrar and provider context.

What the panel currently shows

These metrics summarise the current fixed .auDO panel. They describe the observed panel only, not the whole .au namespace.

Namespace context

Panel summaries against wider namespace scale

The .auDO panel is deliberately small and curated for repeated observation. auDA registry statistics provide wider namespace scale only.

State pages are panel summaries. They are not whole-namespace measurement.

-domains in fixed panel
-wider namespace names
-registry reference month
-panel scale

The registry figures are external reference data. They help readers understand scale, but they are not .auDO observation evidence.

How to read this

State pages are summaries, not scores

State pages help make recurring public signals easier to inspect. They do not rank domains, assess organisations or claim complete namespace coverage.

Panel-based

Counts describe the curated .auDO observation panel, not every domain in the .au namespace.

Signal-led

Each State view summarises public DNS, RDAP, mail, registrar or provider signals that can be observed externally.

Not assessment

State pages are not rankings, risk scores, compliance findings or evidence of compromise.

Introducing .auDO

A short, shareable brief on what .auDO observes, what it avoids claiming, and why visible public signals should be read with care. The Observation Guide adds an interactive way to interpret State, report and signal observations cautiously as public evidence, not scores or findings.
