RFC 1562 Naming Guidelines for the AARNet X.500 December 1993
name.
Organisations that can demonstrate that they have a name unique
within Australia (for example, if it has been allocated a name by an
organisation that can guarantee this uniqueness such as the
Australian Securities Commission) may be added immediately beneath
the Australian entry. If the name is only unique within a specific
state or territory, then the entry must be added immediately beneath
the state entry.
The names chosen for the distinguished name of an organisation must
be the officially registered name of the organisation and have a
maximum length of 64 characters, but other more familiar names can be
added as additional organisation names to aid searching.
6. Entries representing residential people
An individual may be registered in the directory and their entry will
be placed subordinate to the entry for their state of residence. The
RDN of such an entry will be composed of a combination of their
common name and their street address.
