TICSA Amendment Bill drawn from ballot
by Beau Murrah 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Hello NZNOG, http://www.parliament.nz/en-nz/pb/legislation/proposed-bills/ballot/51HOOOC… <http://www.parliament.nz/en-nz/pb/legislation/proposed-bills/ballot/51HOOOC…> Clare Curran’s TICSA Amendment Bill has been drawn from the ballot. Ill be giving it a close read myself in the next day or two, would be interested in any comments/discussion off-list or on-list. A link to the Bill itself is here: http://www.parliament.nz/resource/en-nz/51HOH_MEMBILL063_1/f607b43a59cb0d7a… <http://www.parliament.nz/resource/en-nz/51HOH_MEMBILL063_1/f607b43a59cb0d7a…> My research & writing on TICSA is still ticking along- I am considering trying to submit a talk for Kiwicon but thats quite a high bar to aim for, but I plan to release the text regardless around the same time as the conference. As a brief repeat summary, the text focuses in-depth on the deeply untested/unprecedented legal concept of Good Faith which has been imported into this area. It is imperative to avoiding any liability under the Act and also crucial to any sort of pro-active action against the Agency.

Can whois registrar info be wrong?
by Richard Hector 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Hey all, Is it technically possible for the registrar details in whois (for a .com domain) be out of date, or is the whois the canonical source of the info? If it is possible, how would I go about finding out who's really in control? Does a registrar have an interface for that? Unfortunately I'm not sure how reliable my client's own records are on this ... Cheers, Richard

Phish? Re: .NZ would like 5 minutes of your time
by Richard Hector 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

It's an email apparently from one party (NZRS), apparently sent by a second party (my registrar), via a third party (mscv.net) with a link to a fourth party (surveymonkey.com) which seems classic phishing. On the other hand it "looks quite legit". If it is legit, am I right in thinking it's a bad way to go about it? Any comments from participants? Richard

Vodafone / ihug DNS Servers - Reset of Zone File
by Justin Lewis - ResponseMedia 13 Sep '15

13 Sep '15

Hi All, Is anyone else seen ns1.ihug.net.nz and ns2.ihug.net.nz Reverting to older zone files since around lunch time today? Looking like the zone serial is back to "2015082705" should be at least "20150905XX" Have a customer who's entire zone file has been reverted to an old record that's is over 3 weeks old. Customer portal is showing the new zone file though.
