    No Joke, Skeeve.<br>
    <br>
    There was a talk at the last NZNOG about it, the two guys at the
    front of the room from GCSB (hi, guys!) got a bit clobbered by the
    room.<br>
    <br>
    A quick google presented this URL:<br>
    <br>
    <a href="http://blog.altan.me/ticsa-overview/" target="_blank">http://blog.altan.me/ticsa-overview/</a><br>
    <br>
    ... which has the video and a very high level set of bullets about
    what it entails.<br>
    <br>
    The legislation was passed whilst parliament was sitting &#39;under
    urgency&#39;, and here we are.<br>
    <br>
    The GCSB guys have been working hard to try to make it reasonable,
    but the law itself is the issue and I personally feel that passing
    it &#39;under urgency&#39; was a bit cheeky and underhanded. So they&#39;re
    doing their best with the hand they were dealt.<br>
    <br>
    Thing is, it&#39;s now law, so we have no choice but to abide by it.��
    The mandate is around national security, so we can only presume that
    GCSB have some good intel sources and their pool of learned
    engineers will be looking for actual potential risks to national
    security.�� I gather they will simply raise concerns, where possible
    providing as much information as possible as to why the item raised
    is a concern, and seek to ensure that appropriate mitigation
    measures are put in place.<br>
    <br>
    I for one will be interested to see what happens when the full force
    of this particular piece of law is first tested.<br>

            Hey all,<br>
            <br>
            So the TICSA came into effect today.<br>
            <br>
            Things to remember:<br>
            The Act requires that network operators register their
            information<br>
            with the Police Registrar. ��Details here:<br>

            <br>
            <br>
            The NCSC has also produced some guidance for Network
            Operators which<br>
            is worth a read.<br>
            <br>

            <br>
            The GCSB have also published a list of exceptions for
            Operators with<br>
            regard to what you&#39;re required to notify them of.<br>
