All, Pardon the slight intrusion. InternetNZ and TVNZ7 are running an ICT Ministers Election Debate on Tuesday 23 September, for information see www.debate.net.nz There are remaining spaces available in the studio audience at Avalon. If you would like to be in the studio then let Richard Wood from InternetNZ (richard at internetnz.net.nz) know as soon as possible. If you are going to be at home (or at work) that evening then be sure to join in the streamed video and IRC chat accessible through the website. Participation will allow for the real-time firming up of questions to be put to the Ministers during this debate. Many from the NZNOG community participated in the INZ debate leading up to the last general election, and I hope many more can participate this time. To keep on topic, there will be beer at Avalon for the studio audience (hosted by TVNZ) Cheers Keith Davidson Executive Director - InternetNZ
