hi,
i don't see too much wrong with INZ - the only concern i (and some others) had was the lack of geeks in the new proposed council. this is the reason for some of the later bunch of guys on the election list for council to stand up and put forward their name.
in my view this is pure counter balance to�a�otherwise�probably�too�corporate/governance�focused�direction�of�INZ.�INZ is in the lucky position to have two brilliant guys on top of DNCL and NZRS so that there is not too much oversight needed on that front which gives resources for extending their work done in things like the new copyright legislation, software patents and the more internet related things like being a centre of excellence and expertise in all matters of internet governance. strengthen the position of INZ as _the_ entity of consultation for any matters relating to internet governance should be the biggest goal i think. this would imply that NZ government officially accepts INZ as the governing body of the .nz namespace and (hopefully) prevent disasters as we had with s92a.
cheers

Which is exactly my point. �I'm guessing quite a few people on here are
in my position and really don't know what is going on with INZ at all...
�so it would be nice if people are going to go soliciting votes if they
could spell out what they believe the problems are.
INZ things may not be directly NZNOG related, but the list is currently
dead quiet otherwise, so now that the issue has been raised, how about
you come in for a discussion over a cup of tea, rather than just
standing outside on the lawn holding a sign with your name on it?
