This list is an excellent idea. Top marks to the folk who kicked it off
Three weeks ago Joe Abley suggested to this list an approach to the elimination of addresses issued in small units by NZGate. His proposal is still available at http://www.patho.gen.nz/~jabley/nznumber.txt .
Are list participants aware ISOCNZ is planning a forum discussion on this topic in Wellington on Nov 20 prior to their AGM?
Sounds like an opportunity for industry players to get together and share views.
Although there are commercial issues surrounding the use of NZGATE numbers
in networks today, the underlying motive for reform is the health of the
network - specifically, the advertisement of long-prefix routes. This aspect
is clearly an operational issue, rather than one of governance -- and has
its roots in _global_ operational policy, rather than that of just NZ.
As someone who is almost certainly more familiar with ISOCNZ than I am,
what are your views? How do you see ISOCNZ participating or adding value
to this issue?
This isn't a loaded question :) I'm just interested.
Joe
