<<<Amendment>>> InternetNZ releases ENUM Personal User Agent Prot otype software under Open Source BSD Licence.
by Michael Sutton 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

============ July 28th 2005. Greetings: I am resending a modified version of this information bulletin highlighting the contribution of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to this work: This PUA software was designed and developed in New Zealand by CatalystIT and utilised ETSI Guides available at http://www.etsi.org/services_products/freestandard/home.htm [1] ETSI EG 202 067: "Universal Communications Identifier (UCI); System framework". [2] ETSI EG 202 249: "Universal Communications Identifier (UCI); Guidelines on the usability of UCI based systems". We thank Mike Pluke and others at ETSI. Best Regards Michael Sutton Chair ENUM Task Force. ============ InternetNZ releases ENUM Personal User Agent Prototype software under Open Source BSD Licence. http://www.internetnz.net.nz/public/enum/pua/2005-07-pua-media-release.html InternetNZ announced today the release of its ENUM "Personal User Agent" prototype source code under an Open Source BSD Licence. The release hopes to encourage developer support of an ENUM initiative in New Zealand. The code is available from http://www.internetnz.net.nz/public/enum, as well as Reports prepared by the Task Force and a limited quantity of CDs. The PUA release does not include the "Universal Communications Identifier" Registry modules. Subscribe to a public information list at http://farsight.internetnz.net.nz/mailman/listinfo/enum. ENUM is a set of Internet protocols, mapping telephone numbers onto the Internet naming system. Existing email addresses, web sites and alternate telephone contact addresses can be attached to this ENUM record. This record can be used by suitable handsets or (pabx type) computer programs to contact the number holder. ENUM is in government approved trial or production in approximately 30 countries. "Personal User Agents" (PUA) are software programs which act like firewalls; automatically filtering requests for ENUM contact information and deciding what information to release and how incoming calls will be directed based on rules that look at the inbound identity of the caller. This protects the consumer from address harvesting or privacy breaches. In theory every existing and future telephone number in the world could be ENUM provisioned. This provides a massive legacy base on which commercial PUA software can be built. The ENUM PUA is based on our research and Guides by Europe's Telecommunications Standards Institute, ETSI (EG 202 067 & EG 202 249). http://www.etsi.org/services_products/freestandard/home.htm. In a complimentary note ETSI also referred InternetNZ's work to the European Commission. InternetNZ looks forward to continuing close and contructive dialogue with ETSI. Following completion of an ENUM PUA UCI Feasibility Study at the beginning of 2005 the prototype was developed by Catalyst IT (http://www.catalyst.net.nz), of Wellington, for InternetNZ. The PUA prototype was linked to another module known as the "Universal Communications Identifier" (UCI) which can bind an individual's name and service requirements to ENUM records and then be accessed by other PUAs. Future ENUM PUA software will enable users to opt-in to security services that will restrict publication of contact (email etc) information to anonymous callers and will permit intelligent routing of calls based on the relationship of the receiver to the caller and possible cost optimization of call termination and also increasing the rate of successful call completion for the networks. There are significant international opportunities for software developers to incorporate ENUM with PUA features into their existing communications software and directory services. InternetNZ anticipate that a number of software companies will work co-operatively to develop compatible systems that will compliment each other on different niche markets such as PUAs in the Telco-network, ISP, corporate business, SoHo and individual markets. Co-operating with the Government, Telecommunication Carriers Forum and applications developers, InternetNZ will participate and facilitate a New Zealand ENUM Trial over the next year that will provide a platform to test, demonstrate, commercialize applications and integrate ENUM to deliver economic advantage to the New Zealand community. InternetNZ welcomes enquiry from anyone interested in undertaking ENUM development work and participating in the Trial.

Folks, You might be interested in two postings today: http://www.beehive.govt.nz/ViewDocument.aspx?DocumentID=23810 which is the Anti Spam bill and includes a (badly) scanned version of the bill.

Notification of NZRR Database changes

28 Jul '05

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that some object(s) in NZRR database which you either maintain or are listed as to-be-notified have been added, deleted or changed. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes. --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS7657 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Ihug Ltd - AS7657 members: 203.109.128.0/17^17-29, 203.118.128.0/17^17-29, 203.173.128.0/17^17-29, 203.96.192.0/19^19-29, 202.36.16.0/20^20-29, 202.46.160.0/20^20-29, 202.49.64.0/21^21-29, 202.126.80.0/21^21-29, 198.48.0.0/22^22-29, 202.8.44.0/22^22-29, 202.50.188.0/22^22-29, 202.21.136.0/23^23-29, 202.36.94.0/23^23-29, 202.36.230.0/23^23-29, 202.49.46.0/23^23-29, 202.49.148.0/23^23-29, 202.49.180.0/23^23-29, 202.61.2.0/23^23-29, 192.107.113.0/24^24-29, 202.7.6.0/24^24-29, 202.21.130.0/24^24-29, 202.36.44.0/24^24-29, 202.36.174.0/24^24-29, 202.49.33.0/24^24-29, 202.49.59.0/24^24-29, 202.49.63.0/24^24-29, 202.49.89.0/24^24-29, 202.49.140.0/24^24-29, 202.49.144.0/24^24-29, 202.49.178.0/24^24-29, 202.49.186.0/24^24-29, 202.49.249.0/24^24-29, 202.50.84.0/24^24-29, 202.50.103.0/24^24-29, 202.50.255.0/24^24-29, 210.55.110.0/24^24-29, 210.55.184.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: noc(a)ihug.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20050711 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9560:RS-ROUTES:AS7657 descr: advertised to AS9560 by Ihug Ltd - AS7657 members: 203.109.128.0/17^17-29, 203.173.128.0/17^17-29, 203.118.128.0/18^18-29, 203.96.192.0/19^19-29, 202.36.16.0/20^20-29, 202.46.160.0/20^20-29, 202.49.64.0/21^21-29, 202.126.80.0/21^21-29, 198.48.0.0/22^22-29, 202.8.44.0/22^22-29, 202.50.188.0/22^22-29, 202.21.136.0/23^23-29, 202.36.94.0/23^23-29, 202.36.230.0/23^23-29, 202.49.46.0/23^23-29, 202.49.148.0/23^23-29, 202.49.180.0/23^23-29, 202.61.2.0/23^23-29, 192.107.113.0/24^24-29, 202.7.6.0/24^24-29, 202.21.130.0/24^24-29, 202.36.44.0/24^24-29, 202.36.174.0/24^24-29, 202.49.33.0/24^24-29, 202.49.59.0/24^24-29, 202.49.63.0/24^24-29, 202.49.89.0/24^24-29, 202.49.140.0/24^24-29, 202.49.144.0/24^24-29, 202.49.178.0/24^24-29, 202.49.186.0/24^24-29, 202.49.249.0/24^24-29, 202.50.84.0/24^24-29, 202.50.103.0/24^24-29, 202.50.255.0/24^24-29, 210.55.110.0/24^24-29, 210.55.184.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: noc(a)ihug.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20050728 source: NZRR

http://www.wlug.org.nz/NewZealandInternetHistory license details
by Matt Brown 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

Hi, Many of you will be familiar with the New Zealand Internet History page created on the WLUG Wiki after this years NZNOG conference. WLUG is currently in the process of clarifying the license situation for all of the wiki content, and we are endeavouring to bring all content under the a Creative Commons Wiki License (see http://www.wlug.org.nz/WlugWikiLicense for details). Due to the huge volume of edits and additions to this page we unfortunately don't have details of all of the original contributors and authors to it. My recollection is that this page was created by Ian McDonald based on notes from Joe's talk. Given that the content is all a historical record that has been collaboratively compiled, I don't imagine we're going to run into any copyright problems, but just to be sure, we would like to check. Does anyone on this list, who has contributed significantly to the page object to it being placed under the aforementioned license? If you do, please contact me so we can discuss it. Assuming we don't have problems I intend to relicense this page near the end of the week. Kind Regards PS. You're still welcome to add to/improve the page :) -- Matt Brown matt(a)mattb.net.nz Mob +64 275 611 544 www.mattb.net.nz
