Thankyou to everybody who responded to the NZNOG survey, the results are in and are very useful to us.

Geoff Huston was considered a top three speaker most often followed by Francesco Alberti of Eolo.�� Hamid Maani of Hawaiki and Kraig Winters representing the Red Cross were third equal with a large group just behind them.���� More importantly almost all the speakers were considered interesting by someone attending the conference so we are pleased with the programme reception.

Respondents liked Queenstown but didn't like the venue.�� They wanted desks in the conference and aircon in the rooms.

The most popular destination choices for next years conference were Napier, Wellington and New Plymouth.�� This fairly closely corresponds with the trustees' thinking so we will check them out for venues and accommodation with air conditioned rooms.���� It will, however, be difficult to top jet boating as a social activity.

Just over 90% of people are open to us changing the conference dates.�� We will investigate this.�� There were almost no other conferences identified to avoid clashes with but public holidays are clearly sancrosanct.�� There was also a suggestion that we avoid school holdiays which we currently don't do.

People are happy for us to make the conference a bit bigger to make sure people don't miss out.

There were also a lot of individual comments and suggestions that we will try to take on board.

Richard Nelson
