The Stability and Security of APNIC - Proposed By-law Reforms
by Christopher Hawker 14 Sep '23

14 Sep '23

Hello all, For all of our fellow APNIC members as you may or may not be aware, an important vote is currently taking place. This vote is critical to protecting the governance of APNIC, and to protect its integrity supporting over 9000 members, over another 10,000 indirect members (through NIRs) as well as the countless millions of people who rely on the internet today. The APNIC Proposed By-law Reform 2023 contains some of the most important changes to the APNIC By-laws that have been put forward to date. These proposed reforms can be found here on the APNIC website (https://www.apnic.net/about-apnic/organization/structure/proposed-by-law-re…) , however, in short they are: * Resolution 1 - A resolution to introduce new eligibility criteria for nominees in Executive Council elections, * Resolution 2 - A resolution to preserve the independence and geographic representation of the Executive Council, * Resolution 3 - A resolution to prevent individuals involved in litigation against APNIC from being nominees in Executive Council elections, * Resolution 4 - A resolution to limit the control one organisation (or corporate group) can have on the Executive Council, and * Resolution 5 - A resolution to introduce a new independent body, the Electoral Committee, to have oversight of nominee eligibility and conduct in Executive Council elections. These resolutions were proposed by Karl Kloppenborg, shared far and wide, and were drafted in response to community feedback APNIC received during the last EC election in March this year. They are designed to protect, strengthen and support not only the EC and APNIC members, but the wider internet community as a whole. It is important that each APNIC member uses their vote (and in turn their voice) to vote in favor of these resolutions and to be heard on these important matters pertaining to the security of APNIC and its ability to service the Asia-Pacific region. Please, don't just vote for the sake of voting or because I am asking you to. Read through the proposed reforms, gain an understanding of their wording and how they affect the by-laws and then cast your vote. Voting closes today at 14:30 (UTC+9:00), which is 17:30 NZST. I implore you to please use your voice and cast your vote as the stability of APNIC may very well depend on it. Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me either on or off-list, or via iMessage (chris(a)thesysadmin.dev) for those who are use Apple iOS devices. Regards, Christopher Hawker

Hi, am trying to get hold of the spf records for maxnet as we have a customer that has thier email hosted by them, the phone support told me they dont provide any records but of course gmail and other hosts require domains to have spf setup They did say we could use 123.100.67.225 which would cover it but two of the bounce messages have been routed through different servers than that (123.100.67.191,123.100.67.196) so needing to find out the correct details that we need to add

Hi list Is there anyone from Mynxnet on here or anyone with a contact at their mothership (Devoli)? I've tried emailing support and loding a ticket and just wanted to let them know that their website has been offline for weeks... Looks like an orphaned CNAME. Maybe no one cares? Bigger fish to fry :) Pete

.nz Second Level DNSSEC issue
by Josh Simpson 24 Jul '23

24 Jul '23

Hi all As at 2023-05-29 10:45 PM we have identified an interaction in our DNSSEC signing of the .nz second level domains which depending on recursive resolver cache state may invalidate second level zones. If you encounter issues on recursive resolvers such as SERVFAIL relating to any of the .nz second levels, flushing the resolver cache for the respective zones should allow DNS services to resume functioning. Flushing . net.nz first is recommended. https://status.internetnz.nz/incidents/gq1c6slz3198 will contain updates. Regards Josh -- *Josh Simpson* .nz Operations Manager *InternetNZ | Ipurangi Aotearoa* Helping New Zealanders harness the power of the Internet www.internetnz.nz *M* +64 21 783 399 *O* +64 4 555 0124 *GPG:* 542B 26CA 6CF6 00B1 6E6B 6D84 058C 8FE5 CEEF 5FAB [image: InternetNZ]

________________________________________________________________________ Community consultation on increasing availability of critical APNIC services ________________________________________________________________________ Hi NZNOG Community, APNIC is always looking to maintain the highest possible level of availability of its online services to Members and the community. Last year, APNIC began assessing the technical and process improvements required to increase availability of its critical services to a high level, beyond 99.99%. Significant financial and resource investments in people and infrastructure would need to be made to achieve this. The opinions of APNIC Members and the community on this work are essential. Your input will help APNIC determine the scope, feasibility and appetite for further investments in critical service availability. As part of the consultation process, APNIC has developed a short online consultation form you can access below. Provide your feedback --------------------- https://www.research.net/r/BLSXVBL APNIC appreciates any feedback you can provide. We also encourage you discuss this with colleagues in your organization to capture their thoughts (or have them complete this form as well). The form will remain open for feedback until Wednesday, 21 June at 17:30 (UTC +10). In addition, APNIC is conducting interviews with Members and other stakeholders as part of the process, with the results of the community consultation to be shared publicly in the coming months. Please participate if you can – we value your thoughts! ________________________________________________________________________ APNIC Secretariat secretariat(a)apnic.net<mailto:secretariat(a)apnic.net> Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) Tel: +61 7 3858 3100 PO Box 3646 South Brisbane, QLD 4101 Australia Fax: +61 7 3858 3199 6 Cordelia Street, South Brisbane, QLD http://www.apnic.net ________________________________________________________________________

.ac.nz. DNS issues
by Diego Circelli 29 May '23

29 May '23

Hi everyone, Earlier today there was a problem with InternetNZ which has resulted in several providers failing to resolve names ending in .ac.nz for their customers (apparently an issue while resigning the zone from what I heard). Some providers that we've contacted directly have been able to resolve the issue by either clearing the cache or restarting their recursive resolvers. Could you please check whether your resolvers are affected and take appropriate action? Thanks, Diego

IETF 117 coming up in San Francisco, July 22-28
by Jay Daley 12 May '23

12 May '23

As previously discussed, here’s a brief note about the upcoming IETF meeting in San Francisco in July. For those that don’t know, the IETF is the premier Internet standards development organisation, responsible for standards such as IPv6, SMTP, QUIC, WebRTC and plenty more. Anyone can participate, no membership is required and most participation is free as it takes place on mailing lists. The IETF is arranged by areas and Network Operators tend to find the Ops area the most relevant. Work happens within Working Groups and the list of those for the Ops area can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/#OPS The IETF meets three times a year for the various Working Groups to push their work forward and this is the only time a fee is charged, to cover the cost of the meetings, but a remote participation fee waiver option is available for those that cannot afford the fee. Details of the meeting here: https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/117/ Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Jay (using my personal email as that’s how I’m subscribed to this list, but my dayjob is IETF Executive Director) -- Jay Daley jay(a)daley.org.nz +64 21 678840
