(warning! non-operational content. Press "d" now.) This is going to sound a little bit like a delayed reaction, but I've been travelling wildly since the meeting and hence have something of a mental meme backlog. It was very pleasant to be back putting names to faces and waving my hands in front of a whiteboard. Many thanks to Roger & Co for organising the meeting, and for inviting me to come down and speak. My travel to Auckland was paid for by Domainz -- without their funding I likely would not have been able to visit to talk at the meeting, nor turn up the F root server instance in Auckland in July (if your traceroute to f.root-servers.net currently leaves the country, feel free to contact peering(a)isc.org to set up a peering session with us in Auckland, or encourage your ISP to do the same). Direct assistance and ongoing donations of time, network, colo and equipment for the F root server were provided by Juniper, TelstraClear, Citylink, FX Networks and 2day.com, all of whom should hereby consider themselves heartily thanked. http://www.isc.org/ISC/news/pr-07232003.html Joe
