Apologies to those who will be getting two copies of this; suddenly nznog
and isocnz-l seem to be in lockstep; I hope that this condition is
temporary! Just a brief comment expanding on what Jim Higgins wrote:
Although ISOCNZ cannot dictate policy over IP address numbering in New
Zealand, it is in a position (or with a bit of a push will be in such a
position), to develop a consensus view amongst the various interest groups.
It could even get itself into the position of being able to represent those
groups in suitable fora or to external agencies should that become desirable
or necessary. This is roughly where it is at (or should be) with the ISP
Code of Practice. One of the preconditions for such a development to be
possible it clearly needs a much wider membership base than it has at
present.
I hope that the overall theme of this year's Face to Face will lead in that
direction.
