________________________________________________________________________ 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

by Joe 03 May '23

03 May '23

Hey NZNOG People, Hope you don’t mind me flicking this through to you folks, the NZNOG conference of 2023 was fantastic and I am hoping I can get some of that talent to come present at AUSNOG 2023. :) AusNOG 2023 will be held at the Sea World Conference Centre on the Gold Coast (Yes this is not a typo, it is not in Sydney or Melbourne this year) on the 7th & 8th of September, 2023. The Program (was Programme) Committee is seeking submissions from people wishing to present at the conference. Please note that AusNOG 2023 is a technical conference so presentations must be of a technical nature (i.e. no sales or marketing presentations). Preference will be given to presentations that result in actual operational outcomes. We plan on recording presentations for release after the event for those who are unable to attend, please don’t let that deter you from submitting, if your presentation can not be published let us know and we will ensure to not record it. For further information, details of important dates, or to make a submission please see the website at the URL https://www.ausnog.net/events/ausnog-2023 Lastly a big thank you to the PC committee; Jocelyn (Program Chair), Belynda, Mark and Phil.

Apologies if you have received this through other channels. NZNOG 2023 was held in Rotorua in late March. Each year we produce a survey. This is very useful, for example it helps us to: - Give feedback to speakers - Get feedback ourselves around the conference in general, and programme - Plan future NZNOG conferences Please help us out by completing our survey, at the following URL: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FRP898D Even if you did not attend, please have a look - you can of course skip the sections about feedback for 2023, and provide feedback to help us plan future conferences. -- Nathan Ward for the NZNOG Trustees
