A quick update on the the conference this year... (mark your diaries, get your management primed that you need to attend)
When: [8?,9?]10/11/12 July, 2003 Where: Waipuna Lodge, Mt Wellington, Auckland Cost: NZ$695 for Three Days, discounts for early bird registration, lesser for less time, extensive student discounts...)
<HEAD ABOVE PARAPET> Nobody's complained yet ... - Donald Neal
The lead international speakers who have accepted are:- (and I have fully funded travel sponsorship for...)
Evi Nemeth (ex University of Boulder Colorado, and ISC Director) who has indicated she would like to talk about "ISP measurement stuff regarding dns and the slow and infinite denial of service attack that bugs/ features/config-errors in microsoft software are doing to the root servers. - Plus other measurement stuff"
Barry Raveendran Greene (Lead author of ISP practice manual from Cisco) talking about advanced ISP tools and techniques in use worldwide, current practices.
Joe Abley (local boy made good) talking about Advanced mosquito control in Canadian summers, and "what is it really like to work for Paul Vixie...." ( I am certain he will provide an alternative title to his talks..)
I'm still looking for papers and interesting topics for discussion. My plan is to make the conference so interesting to the ISP industry that I can get 2Day.com to stump up for a bar contribution. (Its a test....)
The web-site and conference brochure will be out this week, and I'll be forwarding a URL for a double sided Colour PDF for those with colour printers, who need glossies to sell to management.

Thanks for reading this far, more to follow.
