Andy, Thanks. I'll resist the temptation to join at present, but will ask Dave Harpham our technical guy to sign up.

I don't believe there is a spokesperson for this group but I can state quite clearly here that Peter Mott does not speak for Netlink on this matter or any other. I don't know what agenda Peter is pushing either. Our experience with Domainz is positive with fast turnaround and low fees when compared with overseas registries. I paraphrase Patrick's comments above and direct them to Peter Mott: If the point of your seeking NZNOG input is to politicise this group, to make NZNOG into a political football to push 2Day Internet's or your own personal agenda, then I want no part. This list is open to interested parties - there is no need for a formal invitiation to Patrick or Domainz.

Peter, > There has not been any discussion at this stage OK, I'll do nothing and await any approaches that NZOG feel appropriate > Please name anything substantive...Maybe I missed them. > Dont be so pathetic. I thought the issue was improvements in the Registry interface? Our goal is to improve service to name holders on a fair and equal basis.

Nomination for ISOCNZ Council
by 2Day Chief Enthusiast 05 Nov '98

05 Nov '98

In response to multiple requests, and after some consideration I have decided to make myself available for service on the council of the Internet Society of New Zealand (ISOCNZ) A brief document describing who I am and some of the issues I consider important can be viewed at:- http://peter.mott.co.nz As the director of an Internet provider, I am interested in hearing the views of others who work in the industry which my company 2Day Internet Limited operates. As I would like to develop views which are more representative of Internet providers, please feel free to write to me at peter(a)2day.net.nz if you have something significant to say! It is well known that the current membership of ISOCNZ is quite low and that most participation is from folk employed in the government and academic sectors. To ensure the internet industry has increased representation on council, I would ask that you seriously consider voting for me and any other candidates from industry who you think can make a valuable contribution. If you work within the Internet industry and are not a member of ISOCNZ, please contact me directly so I can assist you with joining up. Individual membership is only NZ$50.00 + GST / year. Notice of the annual general meeting at which councillors will be elected can be viewed at:- http://www.isocnz.org.nz/98agm.html If you are unable to attend the AGM to be held in Wellington, you need to vote using a proxy. This means you sign a document allowing another person who is attending to vote for you. Unfortunately the notice of meeting did not allow for proxies to be accepted using email (as provided for in the constitution) so you will need to provide your proxy in writing. Your proxy needs to be in the hands of the Secretary by 4pm on Wednesday 18 November 1998. Note that this is 48 hours before the meeting. If you would like a proxy form faxed to you, please contact me. Thank you for your time.
