Hi All,
At the APNIC 32 meeting in Busan, there will be a panel discussion of
particular interest to those of us in New Zealand.
The panel is on Inter-networking during natural disasters (full details
at the end of this email).
I've been asked to be on one of the panellists and while I can share
what my experiences were around the time of the earthquake, I know that
some of you have much better stories and experiences to learn from.
I'd like to be able to present some of these experiences …
[View More]at this panel
so that the knowledge that we've gained as a community can help others
which may be in a similar situation in the future.
So if you were involved with any aspect of networking during or after
the Christchurch Earthquake then I'd like to hear about it.
If you were on the ground pulling fibre.
If you were trying to arrange access to condemned buildings
If you were finding out if you really can pour diesel into a live generator
If you were in another city trying to arrange access to contractors
etc etc etc I'll take anything really because it's all worth learning from.
I don't want to make this process too onerous on everyone, so feel free
to get your experiences to me in whatever way you like.
Write me a long email (on or off list)
Write me a short email (on or off list)
Write me two bullet points
Tell me what worked
Tell me what didn't work
Tell me what you wished you'd had
Tell me what you wished you hadn't had
You can also email me a contact number and we can have a chat if you
don't feel like typing.
Thanks everyone, here's hoping that we can make it easier for anyone
else going through something similar.
Oh and don't forget there are loads of remote participation options for
APNIC conferences, so tune in.
Cheers,
Dean

Panel discussion: Inter-networking during natural disasters
When: Thursday, 1 September 2011
Where: Grand ballroom
Time: 09:00 - 10:30 (UTC +9)
Moderator: Philip Smith, APNIC
Inter-networks play a vital role in our daily lives and they have become
a critical infrastructure. However, Inter-networks face a number of
operational challenges during large-scale natural disasters.
Understanding operational challenges and their impact on social
infrastructure as well as the reliance of our daily lives on the
continuity of our economy can help us optimise existing networks and
network operational practices. It will also help plan the improvement of
future relief practices and deal with the challenges of reconstructing
network connectivity and services in the devastated areas.
Panelists will share their experiences and insight about the earthquakes
affecting Christchurch, New Zealand and the earthquake and Tsunami that
hit East Japan. They will also cover some of the operational impact and
lessons learned from these natural disasters.

Also appears that XT and a variety of wholesale services are being impacted since about 12:30.

Dear Colleague,
This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are
designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing
registry database.
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 …
[View More]all times and
consequently a full set of routes.

To the NZNOG community:
Version 1.2 of the DNSSEC Practice Statement is available at http://www.nzrs.net.nz/dns/dnssec/dps
The changes between Version 1.1 and Version 1.2 are posted at http://www.nzrs.net.nz/dns/dnssec/dps/history and also includes the
previous versions in PDF format.
The main changes in this new version are as follows:
1. Multi-Person mode for the Keystore activities
Due to limitations in the HSM device that we are using, we have had to reduce the minimum number of …
[View More]Keystore Security officers required for key related activities from three to two.
The maximum number of Keystore Security officers has also been reduced from nine to five. So for the backup and restoration of key material we will require three people (two Keystore Security officers and one System Administrator).
2. Site Controls
Posters to this list highlighted some issues regarding rack security and access controls. We agree that this area needs to be improved and we will review and make changes to this area over the next few months.
3. Trusted Roles and Trusted Individuals
We have reworked this section and clarified the roles of the Keystore Security Officers, System Administrators, Device Security Officers and Witness and specified the numbers required. We have also introduced a new role: Key Generation Administrator.
4. Background Checks
We have made it clear that the checks apply to anyone with a trusted role and NZRS would then decide on a case by case basis if the individual considered for a trusted role is suitable or not.
We hope that with this new version we have answered your concerns and questions that you have with our DPS document.
If anybody has any outstanding issues or concerns with the DPS please let us know as soon as possible as we are getting close to the stage where we are ready to begin our DNSSEC implementation.
If there are any issues, we suggest that the best way to address them would be to hold a meeting at NZRS to discuss them and to have the meeting sometime over the next two weeks. If anybody would like to meet with us and discuss the DPS, then please let us know by Wednesday 17th August.
Alternatively please feel free to contact myself or Sebastian (sebastian(a)nzrs.net.nz)
Regards,
Dave
