To NZOG members, I've just been forwarded this note seeking your input for changes that Peter wishes to make to his applications. >From Domainz standpoint, I would ask that if you know of areas of weakness, or areas that you wish to improve, then you draw up a list to forward them directly to me.

Nomination for ISOCNZ Council
by 2Day Chief Enthusiast 04 Nov '98

04 Nov '98

In response to multiple requests, and after some consideration I have decided to make myself available for service on the council of the Internet Society of New Zealand (ISOCNZ) A brief document describing who I am and some of the issues I consider important can be viewed at:- http://peter.mott.co.nz As the director of an Internet provider, I am interested in hearing the views of others who work in the industry which my company 2Day Internet Limited operates. As I would like to develop views which are more representative of Internet providers, please feel free to write to me at peter(a)2day.net.nz if you have something significant to say! It is well known that the current membership of ISOCNZ is quite low and that most participation is from folk employed in the government and academic sectors. To ensure the internet industry has increased representation on council, I would ask that you seriously consider voting for me and any other candidates from industry who you think can make a valuable contribution. If you work within the Internet industry and are not a member of ISOCNZ, please contact me directly so I can assist you with joining up. Individual membership is only NZ$50.00 + GST / year. Notice of the annual general meeting at which councillors will be elected can be viewed at:- http://www.isocnz.org.nz/98agm.html If you are unable to attend the AGM to be held in Wellington, you need to vote using a proxy. This means you sign a document allowing another person who is attending to vote for you. Unfortunately the notice of meeting did not allow for proxies to be accepted using email (as provided for in the constitution) so you will need to provide your proxy in writing. Your proxy needs to be in the hands of the Secretary by 4pm on Wednesday 18 November 1998. Note that this is 48 hours before the meeting. If you would like a proxy form faxed to you, please contact me. Thank you for your time.

Interactive Video Feed - Auckland - Face to Face '98
by netwoman＠one2one.co.nz 04 Nov '98

04 Nov '98

Greetings. I have been following the discussion on this list and the newsgroup which has queried why the technology for the free, live broadcast of Face to Face '98 to the Altos Bar in Sky City is not interactive. I have consulted with the contractor and discovered (to my embarrassment) that it is indeed interactive. I am completely ignorant of this part of the technology, so I apologise for not picking up on this sooner. So - the process will run like this (the gods of technology willing <g>): The live video feed will commence at 8:30 and run through until just before 3:30. Wellington will see Auckland and vice versa. Our expectation is that when each of the Sessions (1,2, and 3) break into workshops that the Auckland participants will do the same thing. The report-back sessions will include space for live report- back from Auckland. The only difficulty lies in the deadline for pack- up at Altos as they need the gear cleared by 3:30 as the bar opens to the public at 4:00pm. We are negotiating on this, and Plan B is that if the pack-up has to be before Auckland has a chance to report back on Session 3 "Does the Internet Need Government?" that we have someone in Auckland report in by Cell-phone. Whether we can accommodate more interaction than this will very much depend on the day - it's a learning curve for many of us. I need to reiterate that the AGM is *not* part of the broadcast as we do not have constitutional provision. This year's broadcast/video confernece is really a "trial run" for next year, when we will have the consitutional power and the appropriate security to run the Conference and AGM across the net itself with full voting ability for all participants. I hope this clears up any concerns people have had, and again I reget that my ignorance of the technology has caused confusion. I look forward to "meeting" you in some form, and at the same time extending my knowledge on the technology front. PS The bar at Altos will open at noon for participants, and tea and coffee will be available all day.

No, there are other things I can do in Wellington in the pm and I'll come to the AGM. A generous and pleasing offer though.

Joe: I think your idea of producing a document would be very helpful. I would like to see ISOCNZ have the role of discussing/adopting such a document (if it is suitable, of course <G>) on behalf of the Internet community. Possibly even look at extending the ISPCOP in this direction...again if that seemed a useful thing to do. The idea of a 'closed room' session was not intended for secrecy.. only to keep numbers down to those interested and knowledgeable so that the issues could be explored 'off line' from wider discussions; it was always intended to include all who wanted to contribute, but exclude at the early stage those who only wanted to learn. I think a separate day would be better and if that could report to the F2F it would be very useful indeed. Andy has suggested that as most protagonists are in Auckland that the meeting should be there. We would just need a day, place and time to be agreed and a willing host.
