Further to Australian Domain Name allocation policies and CER
by Frank March 09 Nov '00

09 Nov '00

An obvious follow up question winged my way within minutes of my post on acquisition of a domain name in the .com.au space: how does one acquire an ABN? Basically you need to fill in a form (AFAIK online registration is not possible, roll on e-Govt :-). Buckets of forms are held by TradeNZ and the contact is David Robertson, (04) 496 6414. I am informed that the forms may raise some questions as they are intended for Australians (for example, the form asks for Australian addresses but apparently NZ addresses will do just as well). The Manufacturers' Association and the Export Institute of NZ also have copies of the forms. Further information may be found at the MFAT Australian Division pages at http://www.mft.govt.nz/foreign/regions/australia.html Good hunting.

Australian Domain Name allocation policies and CER
by Frank March 09 Nov '00

09 Nov '00

Not a technical issue but one which will nevertheless be of interest to subscribers to this list. At the July summit held by ISOCNZ to discuss issues relating to ICANN and DNS policies, a member raised a question about the apparent lack of reciprococity between Australian DN allocation policies and those of NZ and whether this was an issue which should be dealt with under the CER arrangements. Because there is no restriction on who may register in .co.nz, any Australian firm wanting to e-trade in NZ using an apparently indigenous address can do so. But, because registration in .com.au is restricted to Australian firms, NZ firms wishing to trade in Australia using an apparently Australian indigenous address may be disadvantaged. We (MED) raised this as an issue in the context of the biennial review of CER arrangements but it was somehow sidelined. We have finally got an answer to the question. While this has been a problem in the past, New Zealand firms are now able to acquire an Australian Business Number (ABN) for GST registration purposes. The converse has long been true: Australian firms can register in NZ for GST and thus acquire a NZ GST number. I have received confirmation today from Jan Webster, Manager, Policy Implementation, Internet Names WorldWide, a division of Melbourne IT Ltd, that any firm with an ABN qualifies for registration in the .com.au space. They also accept applications from foreign companies which have an ARBN and are therefore registered to trade in Australia. In both cases there are other non-residency requirements that need to be met as well, of course. You may wish to pass this information on to anyone with an interest in this area.

For Netlink/Telstra try us on 04 922 8499 or (preferably) tech(a)tsnz.net FWIW I'm sure our phone system would cut you off waaaaay before 1/2 an hour ;) If Gary or myself can't help, we can usually find the person who can, and (as long as you say who you are and where you are from) we won't ask for account numbers. Peter Mott wrote: <snip> But many of the problems we experience are at another layer, dns mail web etc. None of us here have the time or enthusiasm to wait for the standard 1/2 hour so so to get an answer on a help desk and then try to get the person to stop demanding our ISP account number and what version of windows we are running. Maybe each ISP needs to appoint a technical advocate that can be the contact point for other ISP's. The advocate can then run around with some internal knowledge and find the person responsible for solving the problem, whilst making sure the issue gets resolved. <snip> Cheers, Peter Gray Telstra Saturn Tech Support E-mail: tech(a)tsnz.net Phone: 0800 949 000 Fax: 04 922 8401 Website: www.netlink.net.nz PO Box 5358, Wellington, New Zealand "Smile," they said "things could be worse!"

I would have to agree with this... When dealing with zone files, and their modifications, I have found 2day.com (a direct competitor to our business) to be much swifter in response and more co-operative than IHUG albeit they are also a direct competitor - but at least in the time of internetworking we really need to be able to have a bit of the "inter" part working to keep the whole "network" running...and I've found 2day to be very helpful in that regard.

Waikato University secondary name server shutdown -- LAST WARNING
by Andrew McGhie 26 Oct '00

26 Oct '00

On Tuesday, 31 October 2000, the Waikato University secondary name service for .nz domains (ns1.waikato.ac.nz) will be shut down. Users of this service should migrate to the Domainz public secondary (pubsec.domainz.net.nz) or other secondary name services. Domains that have not been migrated from ns1.waikato.ac.nz by 5pm on 31 October will be re-delegated to use pubsec.domainz.net.nz, and secondary service set up accordingly. However, since this change can not update configurations of primary name servers for name holder domains, the following adverse effects may be noted: (1) The delegation information at the .nz name servers will not match the delegation records held at the primary, and queries may still be directed to ns1.waikato.ac.nz due to caching; (2) The public secondary (pubsec.domainz.net.nz) may not be able to transfer domains from the primary servers. This may be due to firewalls or the primary name servers being configured to only permit name transfers from ns1.waikato.ac.nz. (The IP address for ns1.waikato.ac.nz is 140.200.128.13; for pubsec.domainz.net.nz it is 202.46.160.4.) To avoid these problems, please update your name service before the closedown. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
