It's mentioned in the last AUSKF newsletter, and the report from the last AUSKF board meeting was that the issue has not made much progress since then. However, as I understand it the proposal is exactly that, a boundary-less region within AUSKF.

The concern is that we could have a situation where we have dojo within a given Kendo federation region that are not part of that federation, not contributing to it is as an equal partner and possibly even competing for membership. It leads to fears of what happened to TKD - a McDojo in every strip mall not answerable to the region for it's standards or conduct.

I support the idea of including Kumdo in AUSKF, but it needs to be part of the existing framework and not as some kind of separate organization operating under the AUSKF umbrella.
