If however you are unhappy about how things are progressing let's put our heads together and go back to ISOCNZ with an open letter requesting them to ensure that Domainz starts acting as a public service organisation and not as a business solely focussed on making money and using its monopoly postion to dictate to the NZ Internet community.
I think our view has been fairly well expressed. We have decided to withdraw from name registration in .nz rather than continue to deal with the domainz / isocnz juggernaut. This will regretfully cause considerable frustration for our customers, as they will need to obtain name service for their domain at 2day.com and then visit domainz to register. When the domainz ceo is sacked or removed from a position of responsibility, we will review our position. I am not sure what you think an open letter will do Andy. Many of us have already signed a petition expressing our needs, which for the most part have not changed. After many months we got a WHOIS that did not deliver live data and was yet another challenge for parsing. Even the hine review is likely to be referred to domainz for consideration. They will of course recommend to ISOCNZ that the status quo is the way forward. If ISP's want a solution to this problem, we have to all work together. Unfortunatly, most folk simply don't consider it important enough.
