Donald, I was assuming usual timescales when I made the offer - around end Jan/early Feb to make use of available student accommodation. However I'll investigate whether we can be a venue to work around ICANN on 27-31 March as indicated by Keith as that is a very attractive proposition. The issue is that it is in the middle of trimester 1 so our large lecture theatres are generally booked and student accommodation not available. It is more likely to be feasible for 3rd onwards as that is the last week before Easter. Give me a few days to investigate whether this can be arranged.

Peter, Thanks for the offer. When are you offering to host a conference? Or put another way, are you offering to host something aroubnd the time of ICANN (early March 2006) or at another time when cheap accommodation si available? If the later, when roughly is that? - Donald Neal Donald Neal |Do not look directly at laser with Technical Specialist |remaining good eye.

Simon,

We'd be happy to host NZNOG 06 at VUW if Wellington is seen as a reasonable venue. We know there are those who might prefer more "neutral - driving distance from Auckland" ground, so won't be offended if the venue goes to someone else.

Cheers

Peter

We are looking for potential hosts for NZNOG 06 in around a year's time.

If you think that you ( or an organization you are associated with) might want to host nznog next year then you should probably start thinking seriously about it soon.

We will probably send out a more formal call within the next week or two so the decision is made some time in March.

We already have one early expression of interest.

If you have questions about what is involved etc then the organizing people or the WAND group can probably answer them.

People can probably also suggest possible themes, formats and speakers at this point as well. Personally I vote for an on-site Masseuse.

Email to me (I can summarized or forward) , the list or whoever.
