OK, in reponse to Roger Hicks' posting below I've added the people named in the headers of his message to a mailing list I've called nznog. The address to send mail to is nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz. There's a fair amount else the Majordomo and related software on that box can do, but there doesn't seem a lot of point to explaining that just yet. Could people receiving this please reply to me verifying that thye have seen it? Oh, and I am interested in Arronb's ideas. - Donald Neal

Donald

Sorry for not responding I've been away from the office...

I appreciate your offer of hosting a mail list (providing Joe doesn't think I'm doing him out of a job!). Can organise is with us (to: and cc:) on it, please. Aaron has made some interesting comments about the purpose of an NZNOG so may he can post this as a starting point.

I suggest we get others to join in as well....... who should we start inviting??

NB I'm also out next week Regards R.

Please excuse the long delay in circulating this. I had mentioned to different people but ended up getting side-tracked, going on holiday, having to do work and other things ;-)

Donald and I discussed the (perrenial) issue of getting an NZNOG going. Any comments??

Sounds good... Who wants to run the mailing list? I can probably sort something out here (or at home), but it'll likely take me a little while.

I'm happy to add it to the fifty or so already run from here. I can do
