Have you made sure you have a well informed panel so some meaningful discussion can take place? If people are paying money to attend, then there will be an expecation that it will be a professional effort with industry participation.

I think we all need to stop saying ISOCNZ needs to do something. The reality is they are having a forum to which they are inviting people from all sorts of places. If we dont care about the possiblity of a blind leading the blind session, then we should do nothing. If on the other hand we want people to understand what the issues are really about, then we must be prepared to participate. We cant progress an improvement in ISOCNZ by telling them to get their crap together. It will happen when we all join up and make it into something we can respect. regards Peter Mott Chief Enthusiast 2Day Internet Limited http://www.2day.net.nz -/- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

A day spent in a darkened Sky Tower bar watching a broadcast with such riveting items as "Announcing ISOCNZ as National Partner for ThinkQuest" on television?

There are more than a few people who believe they "own" address space, and that they have a right to have it routed to whereever they live. And then there are others who think they should be able to own address space so they can move between upstream providers without having to renumber. Can of worms people :-) >Notice I said "can" and not "should" :) I think we should always apsire to do what "should be done" rather than whats possible.

child pornography

It has been brought to the attention of our helpdesk that the newsgroup alt.binaries.pictures.bc-series contains child pornography. This group was not previously on our list of undesirable groups, so I guess it's possible/likely that other providers are carrying this group too. Our ops people will be dropping this group in the morning. You may want to check your news servers and take appropriate action. -- Joe Abley <jabley(a)clear.co.nz> Tel +64 9 912-4065, Fax +64 9 912-5008 Network Architect, CLEAR Net http://www.clear.net.nz/ --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Hi, I just noticed the following in the ISSUES section of the recent posting of the November ISOCNZ face-to-face: > THE ISSUES: > > [snip!] > > * Who Owns Netgate? Portability of IP Addresses > Netgate is an operating name for a service of Telecom NZ. I don't think there is any doubt that if anybody owns Netgate, Telecom NZ does :) I think you meant NZGATE. NZGATE no longer exists as an operational entity - I don't think that _ownership_ of NZGATE is a useful concept. Portability of addresses in general is a different issue (and one that is rather clear-cut for new address allocations); however, it would certainly benefit from wider exposure at the face-to-face as there is still much confusion in the user community on this issue. I think a better heading would be: * What can be done about the legacy of NZGATE-delegated addresses within NZ? Ongoing portability of IP addresses. Notice I said "can" and not "should" :) Joe -- Joe Abley <jabley(a)clear.co.nz> Tel +64 9 912-4065, Fax +64 9 912-5008 Network Architect, CLEAR Net http://www.clear.net.nz/ --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
