4/ Run an event within a larger event. In practice for this year this would mean the UniForum NZ conference. This is scheduled (with a final choice of hotel pending) to take place in Auckland in early to mid July. (The school holidays run 29 June - 14 July.) The convenor has suggested that NZNOG run a stream over a Thursday and Friday, with format and room requirements negotiable. The main conference seems likely to run Thursday - Sunday. There would be an option for people to register only for the Thursday and Friday. This is by far the best option. We can use it as a model to grow the NZNOG conference to a size where one day it can be stand alone. It is also mutually beneficial to both parties. Organising a conference in under a year involves a huge amount of work.
In any case, we would be aiming to keep under the sort of cost figure Roger De Salis has mentioned.
I believe we could now proceed by accepting one of options 1, 2 or 4 and at the same time appoint a group of people to liaise with others involved and to coordinate a programme. Or we could appoint a group and leave the choice among options 2, 3 and 4 to them. Thoughts? Volunteers? I've said I could help with Uniforum conference. So I don't see why I can't help with both if ppl here think there's a need to liaise between the two (yes there is) etc. So count me in
