Hi All, APNIC have approached a number of the NZNOG'09 organising committee and mailing list maintainers about signing a Memorandum of Understanding to solidify the valuable support they provide the NZNOG community each year. Those of you who have attended NZNOG conferences will know that this takes the form of sponsorship, staff time and expertise, and general participation on this mailing list. The MoU is nothing more than an acknowledgement that collectively we should continue to work together, share information, and facilitate training. Simon Blake and myself, on behalf of the mailing list maintainers and NZNOG conference organising committees, will be signing this on Friday during the APNIC26 Annual Members Meeting. This has been discussed extensively by these two groups and people are comfortable with this. Dates and location for NZNOG'09 will also be announced at this time. I won't spam the list with the complete document - ping me if you would like to see a copy, or discuss. We'll pop a copy of the MoU up on the NZNOG website once the deed is done. Cheers, Jonny.
