Conference
by Michael Hallager 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

Hi all, I would like to confirm my interest in the conference. However I am somewhat sick and tired of the large amount of E-Mail this has generated in my inbox. (30+ messages per day). I would anticipate attending the conference to learn more about something, however I would prefer that the minority who wish to have a protracted debate on what this "something" is could do so in private, and then when they have made their mind up- then send the ideas to the list. Any comments? Based on what I have seen, I would like to learm more about the cable network setup/s. (As covered in recent posts). Beyond that, I am happy with whatever else. Hence, I only need one email to express my interest.

InternetNZ (or more specifically its Vice-President Rick Shera) noticed a few days ago the possible ramifications of the law where ISPs can be caught in the middle between telcos and customers. Rick has put in a submission to the select cmte. ISPs and others could ask the Cmte Clerk if they can put in a late submission (they were due in by 15th). The Clerk is Marie Alexander, e-mail: SC-Commerce(a)parliament.govt.nz and phone: 64 4 471 9532. InternetNZ will make an oral submission on the bill also. Possibly an interested ISP could ask to be part of the delegation (adds credibility to have actual ISP there). Any examples etc of how this will unfairly penalise ISPs for things not under their control could forward such material onto Rick or Sue Leader.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=787311 " Residential internet users who suffer email delays, network outages or slow connection speeds will gain the right of redress against service providers under a proposed law change." This law will hold ISPs liable for delays in e-mail delivery even when the delays are associated with a remote network over which the ISP has no control.

I will volenteer to help. Call me conservative, but I would like to see a very successful small gathering that leaves us all wanting more (option1) rather than a large event that burns out the organisers, pauper the participants and satisfies no-one. I guess I am of the walk before you run camp.

If enough of >us agree to go, we can arrange with them to provide a separate room to run >a Network stream in and piggy back on everything they've already >organised. That way we get to focus on content. Fair enough. I think we have from here four options. 1/ Organise something small. I'm not hearing any clear enthusiasm for that. 2/ Seek to have a stand-alone event organised by somebody else. The University of Waikato have made a credible offer to do this. They have experience of event organisation and have a venue which is likely to be suitable. We could accept that offer, or 3/ it may be possible to persuade one of the companies which have offered to assist with organisation to take on a primary role in that work. My impression is that NANOG rotate organisational work among a variety of corporate "hosts" as their gatherings move to different North American centres. 4/ Run an event within a larger event. In practice for this year this would mean the UniForum NZ conference. This is scheduled (with a final choice of hotel pending) to take place in Auckland in early to mid July. (The school holidays run 29 June - 14 July.) The convenor has suggested that NZNOG run a stream over a Thursday and Friday, with format and room requirements negotiable. The main conference seems likely to run Thursday - Sunday. There would be an option for people to register only for the Thursday and Friday. In any case, we would be aiming to keep under the sort of cost figure Roger De Salis has mentioned. I believe we could now proceed by accepting one of options 1, 2 or 4 and at the same time appoint a group of people to liaise with others involved and to coordinate a programme. Or we could appoint a group and leave the choice among options 2, 3 and 4 to them. Thoughts?
