I'm simply talking about the fact that the InternetNZ position on this is only visible to members. Why can't it be public? Why can't most of InternetNZ's web site be public given the decision at the AGM to adopt a policy of openness wherever possible? What can InternetNZ have said about this issue that can't be in the public arena?
Actually, the message about this submission included why it is in the members area. For a quick refresh:
It appears that submissons to select committees and such like DEMAND that they are private and not made public. Once we have made an oral submission, or after the select committee has granted us leave, we can then make public our submiussion.
I have bene told by those that are experts in this area that a select committee can refuse a submission if it is already been made public (read they get in a tiff and pout and throw a fit).
Sorry for a dose of facts, I wont do it again. Promise.

Steven Heath PS anyone in the know, ie, DPF, will correct me I am sure abotu this process. - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
Ok - This message is just posted in reply to Steven - it is in no way directed at him. I know that I'm not the judge jury and executioner here, and I know that I'm guilty of this too. But lets think VERY carefully about continuing this thread. If people here were really interested in ISOCNZ then they would be also subscribed to that list. The major issue has been raised here, so if people care enough they will take it up on the ISOCNZ page. Lets try to keep the noise down in here. I'll try as well - hows that =) I'm going to see if I can follow one of ewen's ideas and get a new list made for the conference.
