Chris, So far as I'm aware the income tax laws haven't changed in the past year, so UniForum membership is still likely to be a condition of the UniForum option. How the UniForum organisation is structured, and hence what the subscription is, was to be reviewed last year, though I've not heard of an outcome from that. - Donald Neal

I don't have a strong opinion either way on the two venues (as long as there's beer and curry close-by), however I would prefer not to have to pay for membership to a society that I'll never have any interest in.
That being said, I'm sure the cross-pollination on technical discussions and presentations of the NZNOG and Uniforum type is good, just keep the membership optional.
Checking the list of past NANOG presentations:

Gives a great start for potentials at NZNOG 2003. Jeff Doyle is a pretty well-known brand in networking who I'd like to see this year.
