These deals are necessitated by the lack of formal infrastructure to provide national management of ones own [[ccTLD]]. The Solomon Islands relied on AusRegistry to develop their registration process from 2004-2007. Nauru, like the Solomon Islands before it, hopes that their current, beneficial deal with AusRegistry will eventually result in a national infrastructure that is able to take over management of the [[ccTLD]].<ref>[http://www.inquisitr.com/43950/ausregistry-international-to-provide-domain-name-registry-services-for-nr/ Inquistir.com]</ref>+ − + − + − They also provide consultations for the operation of South Africa's [[.za]] [[ccTLD]], which is the largest ccTLD in Africa.<ref>[http://www.domainnews.com/en/ausregistry-international-wins-another-lucrative-middle-east-internet-contract.html DomainNews.com]</ref> They were responsible for consolidating the disparate registries for .za [[SLD]]s into one, central registry.<ref>[http://www.ecommercereport.com.au/?p=907 eCommerceReport]</ref>+ − ===New gTLD Services===+ − − AusRegistry's subsidiary, AusRegistry International, that allows for people outside Australia to buy [[.au]] domain names. − − + Line 54:

==History ==
==History ==
Given that AusRegistry manages all [[SLD]]s in Australia, is involved with the [[ccTLD]] itself, and the IT infrastructure for primary name and [[WhoIs]] servers within the .au namespace, it effectively runs much of the Internet in Australia. [[auDA]] and AusRegistry acknowledged the important roles they both play in promoting the Internet in Australia when the .au registration number hit 2 million in March, 2011.<ref>[http://www.itwire.com/it-policy-news/regulation/45625-aussie-au-domain-registrations-hits-2-million iTWire.com]</ref>

===Involvement Outside Australia===
==International Development and Expansion==
AusRegistry's International subsidiary, [[ARI Registry Services]], has provided registry services and consultation for a number of [[ccTLD]]s, and [[IDN]]s, and has been asserting itself in the new gTLD space as well.
===Expansion into IDNs===
====International Division====
AusRegistry has recently been solidifying their reputation as an international registry, domain manager, and software developer. They have secured deals with Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates to provide software support for their respective registry services. It is the first company in the world to provide the support necessary to carry these countries' Arabic-based [[IDN]] services live, and facilitate the use of Arabic as a primary Internet language. Given these solid partnerships, AusRegistry is poised to continue to grow throughout the region and become a power-player in [[IDN]]s. The Omani Telecommunications regulatory body commented that “AusRegistry International met the evaluation criteria and were the highest ranked respondents to the tender issued by the [Telecommunications Ministry] for the provision of a new Domain Name Registry System for Oman. As such, [we have] chosen to partner with AusRegistry International to establish a new Domain Name Registry System for Oman that will provide benefits to the Omani community for many years to come".<ref>[http://www.domainpulse.com/2011/03/08/ausregistry-international-spreads-registry-wings-to-include-oman/ DomainPulse.com]</ref>
AusRegistry Pty Group's International subsidiary, AusRegistry International, rebranded itself as of October, 2011 to [[ARI Registry Services]]. The move was made to enhance its image abroad, and dispel the preoccupations that working with an Australian company meant uncertainty and risks for a non-Australian organization. Along with the rebranding annoucnement, [[ARI]] also announced that it would be the first [[registry]] to offer its customers the choice between two primary locations for the operation of a [[TLD]] registry. Establishing its location outside of Australia involved deploying registry infrastructure and resources to the United States.<ref>[http://ariservices.com/news-global-rebrand.php Global Rebrand, ARIServices.com]</ref> Prior to the move, ARI already had an office in the United States, and clients on 4 continents; still, the AUS prefix was not amenable to global expansion and recognition.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/ausregistry-drops-the-aus-sets-up-in-us/ AusRegistry drops the Aus, DomainIncite.com]</ref>
==New gTLDs==
Information on AusRegistry's new gTLD services can be found on the page of its international subsidiary, [[ARI Registry Services]].
AusRegistry became heavily involved in the promotion of new [[gTLD]]s in 2011, and they have focused their marketing efforts on promoting their registry back-end services. In September, 2011, one of the first public gTLD applicants, GJB Partners, announced that they would be contracting with AusRegistry for the back-end of their proposed [[.jewelers]] domain.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/ausregistry-wins-jewelers-deal/ AusRegistry Wins Jewelers Deal, DomainIncite.com]</ref>
