"This award means a lot to us as a company. While we have been in operation for over three years, this July has marked our first year as the Registry for the .au namespace. It is fantastic to receive recognition for the excellent efforts our team has produced in maintaining the backbone of the Australian Internet. We knew we were taking on a considerable challenges and this award is recognition of how well the company has not only met but exceeded our expectations."
"This award reflects the efforts of our team as a whole and I am proud of each of them . it belongs to every one of them."
"While we have had an outstanding first year of the four year tender (for the .au registry), and this award is reflective of that, we also understand that our success will be measured on our efforts over the entire period. Everything we do is about making sure that the .au namespace is run efficiently and with integrity. We work each day to ensure that AusRegistry is in the best position to win the tender for another term."
