An impetus for advancement in New Zealand&#39;s enum use is all well and good, but I think everyone except a couple of people holding some fringe beliefs would prefer it if it was managed and controlled by an organisation that serves the public interest. The rejection of Jame&#39;s application wasn&#39;t just inevitable, it was entirely proper.<br>
<br>Apart from the viewpoint that it&#39;s an attempt to become king of enum, you&#39;d think someone with an understanding of the industry would come with peer recommendations; would have familiarised the operator community with their proposal and gained their support; would have introduced themselves to and liaised with the people who are to approve his application and have more than just a loose plan to dominate enum in place. So in effect it&#39;s an industry foreigner who doesn&#39;t speak the language trying to crown himself king of enum.<br>
<br>Let the government run it. Then at least we can get beer money when they sell it.<br>

Top marks to James for pushing this issue along!<br>

Perhaps James hasn&#39;t followed &#39;protocol&#39; but given how far NZ is behind major parts of the world in IP at present, perhaps it&#39;s long past time we got off our soap boxes and actually did some technical work to push things along!<br>
