NOG meeting, Rydges, Rotorua, Friday 16th April.
by Roger De Salis 18 Apr '99

18 Apr '99

There was a discussion on the list about Joe Abley's beer capacity, and a potential NOG meeting (and lunch) at Rydges Rotorua on Friday 16th. We have no response from the list, so Uniforum extends an invitation to any Network operators to just turn up and we will organise something at the time. Since some of you will not want to drive to Rotorua for the weekend without a show of hands, a show of hands would be useful. Lunch is normally 12ish to 1.45ish. Donald Neil and Myself are presenting early afternoon. This being a civilised country, the bar is pretty much open all the time.

NOG meeting report
by Roger De Salis 18 Apr '99

18 Apr '99

Someone asked for an update on the NOG meeting held at Rydges Hotel, Rotorua, at 5.30pm 16/4/99 in the Atrium Bar. About 8 from Telecom and one from Cisco showed up. The Cisco representative's expense account took a mighty beating, while we all drank to Joe Abley's health. Mike Spain and Gibbo gave an eloquent glimpse of their understanding of SPAM, and 55 ways to generate a Denial of Service attack on that lovely little blonde from marketing. Gibbo then ordered shakers, which appear to be truly evil things, and the Cisco rep foolishly agreed to send all NOG attendees a Cisco Tshirt Each. Josh Bailey's named was mentioned several times, most inconjuntion with how an organisation becomes de-joshed, and how did it get Josh'ed in the first place. At that point the ceiling flew away..... That is about all I remember. Others will no doubt add extensive technical information to this short overview...

Sky Tower/Sky City colo update
by Joe Abley 12 Apr '99

12 Apr '99

Hi all, I have had verbal confirmation from John Russell of IHUG and Andy Miller of Xtra that IHUG and Xtra are keen to participate in an exchange at the Sky Tower. Between us, CLEAR, IHUG and Xtra should bring a significant amount of Auckland traffic to the exchange, and make it well worth joining. CLEAR hopes to have packet access to the 48th floor in the tower within the next four weeks, ready to peer with anybody else who cares to join us. The reason for choosing the 48th floor is that it turns out another project within CLEAR had already funded a cabinet there, so it's a handy place for us :) For those who took the tour the other day, the 48th floor is one of the glass-walled floors, ideal for radio shots back to home base without the planning approval that's required for external antennas. If the 48th floor turns out to be wildly inconvenient for anybody else we can always trunk our connection elsewhere. To talk about pricing either dedicated cabinets or space in community cabinets on the 48th floor, Warren Harding's your man: 025 338-392, 09-306-1599x706, warren(a)jda.co.nz. On a related note, I will be talking to Steve Donnohy of Sky City about the ground-level (well, basement) colo facilities in the building, in case it makes sense to do something down there. If anybody else has a desparate itch to attend the discussions, drop me a note (I'm meeting Steve at 9am, Friday 9 April). I will summarise whatever I find out to the list in any case. I am also on the lookout for someone to donate a switch to the exchange (if anybody has any pointers, please let me know). In the mean time, and at least to get things started, CLEAR will have 10baseT switch ports available on the 48th floor. Longer term I suspect someone will want to sell them rather than give them away, but I'm certainly happy to look elsewhere while people string cat5 into the cabinet to get things running :) Most importantly of all, we can't possibly start peering at the Sky Tower unless we have a cool name for the exchange. Sky-IX? MAE-Auckland? Sky-NAP? Mmm. "The Tallest Internet Exchange in the World" :) Joe --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Nah. Going back to joe's original Auckland Neutral Peering Exchange, *surely* it should be: APE = Auckland Peering Exchange. The logo is pretty obvious.

ALERT: National Internet Summit April 30
by Sue Leader 03 Apr '99

03 Apr '99

Greetings - This notice is to alert you to a National Summit on changes to the way the Internet is governed. These changes will affect the way the Internet is allowed to run in New Zealand as well as the rest of the world. New Zealand has not had a chance to consult on these issues and they will impact our economy, the way we do business on the Internet, and the future development of Ecommerce and the Knowledge Economy. Your attendance at the Summit is therefore vital to ensure that we have a say in the future of the Internet in our country. BACKGROUND As you may have become aware, there are significant changes in process in the way the Internet is managed around the world. The formation of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is a key to the process. Although the Interim ICANN Board is still at the stage of setting up representative membership structures, it moved at the March 4 1999 meeting in Singapore into implementing Policy before the structures for making that Policy are in place. This means that the future of the Internet is being determined by a small group of interim appointees, not by the widely based representative membership structures as mandated. The ICANN Board next meets in Berlin on May 25 and looks set to adopt reccommedations on a variety of issues including compulsory Trade Mark arbitration processes and Registrar Accreditation guidelines. New Zealand needs to have at least begun the process of establishing a national position before that date. The proposed policies impact upon our national sovereignty, legal system, business certainty, privacy issues, and economy. Full background material is on our web-site at: http://www.isocnz.org.nz/summit99.html Please read the material thoroughly and pass this invitation to anyone you think fit. We encourage you to forward this notice to any other lists which you feel are relevant. We are aiming for representation at the Summit from as wide a cross-section of the New Zealand community as possible: Internet Industry, Business, Internet Users, Government, Academia, NGO's etc. NATIONAL INTERNET SUMMIT - APRIL 30th - AUCKLAND Venue to be confirmed. Thank you for giving your time to what may be the single biggest issue which the Internet in New Zealand has faced.
