Just on that point, InternetNZ has just set up a working group (http://www.dnc.org.nz/story/30180-29-1.html) to review the whois policy. As far as I know the "great and holy powers that be" don't have any pre-ordained conclusions as to the outcome, so once they call for it, submission on desired changes will be most useful.
Sadly, this level of openness to other views was not something I found within InternetNZ. The actual position of the .nz name holder appears to be more accurately encapsulated in the subsequent post:
However the zone walking issue is not a trivial one, and has put a major spanner in the works. If a solution or workaround to it eventuates, then the original planned implementation can happen. In the short-term I think we just have to wait and see what eventuates.
Basically I read if you want DNSSEC, find another zone. This does seem a strange outcome when the community of interest (NZNOG) appear to want to see DNSSEC progress. (Yes I know the wider community have interests however I suspect that there is insufficient understanding of the issues for meaningful public debate to occur) I suggest that those who support the call for trial implementation of DNSSEC for .geek.nz and email InternetNZ (preferably off list), David may be able to suggest the right course of action Bob Gray
