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

>As someone who is almost certainly more familiar with ISOCNZ than I am, >what are your views? How do you see ISOCNZ participating or adding value >to this issue? My reply may be off topic, but you did ask the question, so here goes ... Today, I would say ISOCNZ is not in a very good position to add value to this issue or any other industry specific issue which may come along. I say that because, whilst ISOCNZ has the best intentions in the world, it has very view internet providers actively participating, and has a council which addresses issues and makes decisions on things they consider important to them at the time. It is therefore unlikely they can represent our industry particularly well for the time being. The move to run a forum on issues such as censorhip, ip addressing, and domain registration is a clear signal they want industry to participate. We need to wake up and smell the coffee. I think the Internet provider industry needs to be able to speak with a single voice. We can can achieve this by:- a) seizing the opportunity to grow ISOCNZ by joining up real quick or b) forming our own industry association sooner rather than later Whether NZNOG is a part of, or drives this initiative is a question for us all, but I suggest that action is required. Whilst the IP addressing issue can be seen in the context of engineering stuff for industry players to sort and agree on, there are things happening in much higher places than most of us care to live, the outcome of which may be industry loosing some ability to manage itself. The question of IP management is as vexed an argument as domain name management, except the stakes are much higher. As things evolve, the respect held for RFC's will erode, and so we will need to look for other ways to ensure issues which concern participants of this list can be addressed. 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

RE: NZGate Addressing Within New Zealand

This issue is of fundamental interest to anyone concerned with the commercial integrity and long term stability of the Internet in New Zealand. Therefore it a matter of concern to me in the policy capacity recognised in the sig below. Wearing a different hat, my association with ISOCNZ, there is a need for someone *representative of the Internet community as a whole* to take on responsibility for ensuring that the Internet is a stable and reliable platform for e commerce. Although ISOCNZ is not there yet, it does have that potential (see for example, David Farrar's vision statement http://www.dpf.ac.nz/isocnz/vision.htm; which I by and large support) Ideologically and practically, there is strong disinterest on the part of the Government to regulate any matter relating to the Internet. But I have been lead to believe that the IP address structure is of sufficient concern that, if there was any suggestion that the NZgate 'share' of the IP address space was at risk of monopoly 'capture' by any group which was not representative of the interests of the Internet users as a whole, the Government might take another look. I will be developing some of this at the Face to Face meeting on 20 November. So my comment on the question raised by Joe's most recent post, reproduced in full below is: who else, other than ISOCNZ? And if this is not 'value add' what would be of greater importance? This is also not a loaded question. :) Of course, we are looking at an operational issue. Although, in fact, we are looking at policy underlying an operational issue; that is governance, actually.

Three weeks ago Joe Abley suggested to this list an approach to the elimination of addresses issued in small units by NZGate. His proposal is still available at http://www.patho.gen.nz/~jabley/nznumber.txt . Joe, do you have any plans to revise your proposal in the light of feedback you've seen since? - Donald Neal --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

NZNOG [off-topic]
by Joe Abley 27 Oct '98

Hi all, This is off-topic, although (I hope) of sufficient interest that I don't get engulfed in anti-spam hate-mail :) A list has been in operation for some time now, hosted by the University of Waikato, intended as an open forum for the discussion of operational issues between network operators in New Zealand. The list's membership is not (currently) completely representative of all network operators in NZ, but currently has subscribers from (in the order that people have subscribed): CLEAR, NetGate, Netlink, ICONZ, Waikato University, Telecom NZ, Iprolink, National Library, Xtra, CityLink, OnTheNet, Paradise.Net, Saturn, Voyager, Ascend, Cisco, IHUG, Plain Communications, Tasman Solutions, Clearview, Globe Net, the Ministry of Commerce, Internet Exchange and Victoria University of Wellington. The list has proved useful for announcing transient network issues affecting other providers, arranging peering between networks, and more recently for discussions relating to IP numbering in New Zealand. This note is really just an attempt to widen the membership of the list, in case there are network operators who are not aware of it. A brief description of the list follows, courtesy of Donald Neal of Telecom NZ. Thank you for your time! Now - back to the main feature. --------- >From: Donald Neal <D1NC(a)telecom.co.nz> Subject: The New Zealand Network Operators' Group Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1998 10:10:27 +1200 The New Zealand Network Operators' Group The New Zealand Network Operators' Group (NZNOG) has neither a king, a president nor a formal membership.

Neither of these organisations (nor the administrator) is responsible for its content. NZNOG Mailing List Acceptable Use Policy The NZNOG mailing list exists to provide a forum for the exchange of technical information and the discussion of implementation issues that require cooperation among New Zealand network service providers. In order to continue to provide a useful forum for discussion of relevant technical issues, users of the list are asked to respect the following guidelines. 1.Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical issues. 2. Discussion related to meetings of network service providers is appropriate. 3. Discussion unrelated to these topics is not appropriate. 3.Postings to multiple mailing lists are discouraged. 4.Postings that include foul language, character assassination, and lack of respect for other participants are unacceptable. 5.Blatant product or service marketing is unacceptable. 6.Postings of political, philosophical, and legal nature are discouraged.
