[OT] Did Domainz issue a public apology to Strongnet?
by Juha Saarinen 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

Sorry about the non-beer content, but I've been told twice now that Domainz issued a public apology to Strongnet about the suspension from the NZ DNS last year. Unfortunately, I cannot find any mention of the apology. Is anybody able to shed some light on this for me? -- Juha Saarinen - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Progress of .geek.nz, and NO more 2ld submissions
by Dean Pemberton 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

Hi All. Just got this back from InternetNZ re the .geek.nz submission. Interesting to note two things. 1) My request to have .geek.nz processed at the same time as .bank.nz was rejected. They can only apparently handle one at a time. 2) There will be no more 2ld's until they finish a full review. Got in just in time but there will be no .celt.nz =( Dean ----- Forwarded message from Sue Leader <exe.dir(a)internetnz.net.nz> ----- To: Dean Pemberton <dean(a)deanpemberton.com> From: Sue Leader <exe.dir(a)internetnz.net.nz> Subject: Re: .geek.nz Cc: dnc(a)dnc.org.nz X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-milter (http://amavis.org/) Hi Dean The .nz Oversight Ctte (NZOC) reported on their planned work schedule at today's Council Meeting. NZOC noted that the review of both the new 2LD creation process and the surrounding discussions about the nature of the space itself, was high on their priority list after the SRS is implemented. On that basis, and in line with the sequential process adopted for .maori.nz/.bank.nz, the Council passed the following resolution: MOVED: Streatfield/Bourne 'THAT (a) a moratorium start today on all new 2LD applications (no more will be received) because of the upcoming review of 2nd level domains by NZOC (b) that .bank.nz continues (c) that .geek.nz proceeds sequentially after .bank.nz is concluded CARRIED ABSTENTION De Salis/Davidson Given that the review of the 2LD process will involve public consultation, and given the nature of your community of interest, the consultation would benefit from the input of your knowledge, experience and expertise. We will keep you posted on the progress on .bank.nz. I am unable to give you a precise time frame, as the Request For Discussion (RFD) for .bank.nz opened on August 26 and will not conclude before October 25, nor later than Nov 24. At that stage the straw poll will be arranged, which runs for a two week period, finishing around 9 December. Until then, we will not know whether that application moves into the next stage of public submissions, a period which runs for another 30-60 days. Note, that should .bank.nz fail to meet the threshold in the straw poll, that would mean that the .geek.nz proposal would move into the RFD stage in mid-December, a timing which may not give the proposal as much attention as might otherwise be the case. The timing is negotiable with the proposer. cheers Sue ----- End forwarded message ----- - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

At present the NZOC is focused closely on the SRS rollout and urgent policy development associated with that. Details are available at www.dnc.org.nz. Partly because of the need for urgency, but also because Rose Percivall and others widely consulted over the SRS implementation over a number of months, there is minimal public input at this stage but once the SRS implementation is rolling forward, and subject to approval from the Council of InternetNZ, a review will be initiated for all current policies, including the process for allocation or extension of the SLD space, and public participation will be a critical part of that review.

Updated DNS monitoring
by Rob Thomas 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Hi, NZNOGers. [ Apologies to those of you who have received this note in other fora. ] I've crafted several enhancements to my DNS monitoring suite. I am now monitoring the gTLD name servers, and you can see the data here: http://www.cymru.com/DNS/gtlddns.html (graphs) http://www.cymru.com/DNS/gtlddnstext.html (text) I have enhanced the root and gTLD name server monitoring. Now instead of only graphing hourly query response, I am also graphing hourly ICMP 8 0 ("ping") response. This may provide some additional insight during periods of high latency; it may instead be specious as all get out. ;) You will find it here: http://www.cymru.com/DNS/index.html On a related note... Are you lame? Being lame means I will pick on you during my next presentation. Avoid this shame! :) Take a look at the lame server report below. It is updated weekly. My thanks to those who donate to the data. http://www.cymru.com/DNS/lame.html Comments, feedback, donated data, and peering sessions are always welcome! Thanks, Rob. -- Rob Thomas http://www.cymru.com ASSERT(coffee != empty); - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

People will be free to continue their .co.nz, can register new names > in .co.nz if they want, but also have the choice of *.nz Yep that would be the way to do it. I suspect in reality though this would effectively kill co.nz etc as the vast majority of registrants would want to go from say telecom.co.nz to telecom.nz.

Google is the best-substitute-for-a-directory-service which we have at the moment. It's not exactly ideal. Your point that we could be focusing on a new directory service is definitely a good one. Although I personally think if we're going to take that approach to a logical conclusion we should completely devalue domain names (making them provider assigned arbitrary strings) to take the rest of the argument out of them. Half-measures seem like a recipie for additional problems. >Imagine this debate being held over 0800 numbers: Except that the other prefixes that you talk about are purely arbitrary in the 0800-etc case, and the second level domain suffixes being suggested here are at least somewhat meaningful divisons. The equivilent to suggesting 801, 802, et al (which incidentally do exist in another form, viz 0800, 0508, in NZ, and others in the US) would be someone suggesting co1.nz, co2.nz, co3.nz etc. I don't think anyone's seriously suggested co1.nz yet. >Also nice to note the categories before and after BANKS: Balloons-Hot Air >and Banners.

And of >course 'celts.nz' can use many of the arguments put forward by 'maori.nz'. And celts.nz has my support. When are you submitting the proposal? I'll pledge $10 towards the $1000 fee for celts.nz as well (I've already pledged $10 for geeks.nz for Dean).

bank.nz maori.nz geek.nz
by Roger De Salis 26 Aug '02

26 Aug '02

The value of the namespace arises from both being simple and logical. It is very hard to see how a 2LD can be justified to support the wishes of the 5 real banks, and ~20 wannabe banks, or broking houses, or insurance houses, who like to think they are bank like. 25 entries is not likely to stress the .co.nz namespace (which is surely the only reason for considering another 2LD.) In the mind of the applicant, why would banks be (at internet level) any more or less special than any other commercial entity. Sure this would lead to .legal.nz, .treaty.nz, and a variety of other groups who for whatever (spurious?) reason somehow think they are "special". I propose to make a submission against .bank.
