Andy, Thanks. I'll resist the temptation to join at present, but will ask Dave Harpham our technical guy to sign up.

I don't believe there is a spokesperson for this group but I can state quite clearly here that Peter Mott does not speak for Netlink on this matter or any other. I don't know what agenda Peter is pushing either. Our experience with Domainz is positive with fast turnaround and low fees when compared with overseas registries. I paraphrase Patrick's comments above and direct them to Peter Mott: If the point of your seeking NZNOG input is to politicise this group, to make NZNOG into a political football to push 2Day Internet's or your own personal agenda, then I want no part. This list is open to interested parties - there is no need for a formal invitiation to Patrick or Domainz.

Peter, > There has not been any discussion at this stage OK, I'll do nothing and await any approaches that NZOG feel appropriate > Please name anything substantive...Maybe I missed them. > Dont be so pathetic. I thought the issue was improvements in the Registry interface? Our goal is to improve service to name holders on a fair and equal basis.
