Hi NZNOG community:

Some of you know me, I'm Sebastian Castro, manager for the technical

The main reason why that material wasn't submitted for consideration to
NZNOG is because it didn't exist or it wasn't ready by the call for
papers deadline, which was October 20th. Specifically, the BGP Map was
in final stages of development, the DNS data analysis didn't exist
because it is work from one of our Summer Interns (Aaron Craig), and the
Data Service is an idea we've been maturing in the last 2-3 months as
part of a twist in the development of the National Broadband Map.

Whenever has been possible or relevant, NZRS has presented their work at
NZNOG and we regularly attend or get involved at different capacities,
like assisting with DNSSEC workshop the past two years.

Kind Regards,
