Hi Everyone. Great to see that there is a growing awareness of this bill on the list. It's certainly drawn a range of critical responses. InternetNZ is in the process of establishing a working group to deal with it in some detail, to establish an InternetNZ position and to have a response ready on what promises to be quite a tight legislative timetable. You're all welcome to attend an initial meeting which will be held late next week, either Thursday or Friday. I'd ask those who are interested in direct participation and available for such a meeting to give me a heads-up. I'll get back later today or Monday with details. Regards, Dean
Hi list(s)
The Government is pushing through this amended bill under urgency - along with the GCSB Amendment bill.
I've only had a quick read but it already made me feel pretty angry. Instead of just bitching about it on IRC and twitter and at bus stops to confused elderly people, I thought I'd try and do something - and I had a chance to speak with Clare Curran (Labour MP) recently about it. She suggested she would support fighting / commenting against this bill, with help and advice.
