I think we all need to stop saying ISOCNZ needs to do something. The reality is they are having a forum to which they are inviting people from all sorts of places. If we dont care about the possiblity of a blind leading the blind session, then we should do nothing. If on the other hand we want people to understand what the issues are really about, then we must be prepared to participate. We cant progress an improvement in ISOCNZ by telling them to get their crap together. It will happen when we all join up and make it into something we can respect. regards Peter Mott Chief Enthusiast 2Day Internet Limited http://www.2day.net.nz -/- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

A day spent in a darkened Sky Tower bar watching a broadcast with such riveting items as "Announcing ISOCNZ as National Partner for ThinkQuest" on television? What could I possibly have done that would deserve such an unspeakable punishment? > However, it is probably a good forum in which to make the issues more public.

They get these regular peices of paper from them demanding money :-) However, most other folk may not know. Netgate, NZGATE, NZIX are words which get thrown around and I can see there is general confusion about what they mean. >Portability of addresses in general is a different issue (and one that is >rather clear-cut for new address allocations); however, it would certainly >benefit from wider exposure at the face-to-face as there is still much >confusion in the user community on this issue. There are more than a few people who believe they "own" address space, and that they have a right to have it routed to whereever they live. And then there are others who think they should be able to own address space so they can move between upstream providers without having to renumber. Can of worms people :-) >Notice I said "can" and not "should" :) I think we should always apsire to do what "should be done" rather than whats possible. It helps stretch our minds a little :-) regards Peter Mott Chief Enthusiast 2Day Internet Limited http://www.2day.net.nz -/- > --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
