As I implied, the "ownership" of the domain name requires a legal entity
(and for org.au that does not include an individual).

Part of the problem would be having the required general meeting with a
quorum in order for the required special resolution to be passed to alter
the rules and objects of AUUG.

Also, AUUG has financial assets which make the reporting much more
onerous.  I have no intention of taking over those assets.

I don't know the Vic requirements.
