Council of Australian University Directors of Information Technology
A group with no demonstrated relevance to an encyclopedia. Delete --Peta 05:23, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Appears notable; for example, the group negotiated a licensing agreement with Microsoft, which is now named after them and is involved in benchmarking tests .  I'd like to see it expanded, not deleted.  --Hyperbole 05:46, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I fail to see how having a licencing agreement with microsoft; or doing what they are paid to do - makes an organisation notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia.--Peta 05:50, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not that they have a licensing agreement with Microsoft; it's that they collaborated with Microsoft to create a licensing agreement, which now bears their name and is apparently in widespread use. I haven't thoroughly researched this group, but preliminary research suggests that it's probably fairly influential.  --Hyperbole 05:57, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The licence is only for universities in Australia - its named after the group since it did the negotiation on behalf of Australian universities. Universities all over the world have licencing agreements with microsoft. There is nothing encyclopedic about the activities of this organisation.--Peta 06:05, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are five references to this group that I could find on Google News Archive relating to the Microsoft agreement and Open Source software. The AVCC is a notable organisation but I don't think that this group is. Capitalistroadster 02:46, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
