The zone files don't in themselves contain "personal information", at least by my reading of the definition in the Privacy Act:
``Personal information'' means information about an identifiable individual; and includes information contained in any register of deaths kept under the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1951
Great, so we agree on this at least.
But the registration details do, and arguably, the zone file data is a key to that information.
This discussion is not about the registry database. Its about zone data. They are quite different things. It appears that we now have agreement that:- a) There being *no* personal information held in the .nz zone files and b) There is no evidence of misuse of zone data There is NO good reason whatever to restrict XFRs from ns99.waikato.ac.nz regards Peter Mott Chief Enthusiast 2Day Internet Limited http://www.2day.net.nz -/- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
