Hi all, At the last NZNOG meeting, we delivered a full day training course on Internet resource management. A few people have asked me for the material, so I thought a quick mail to the list would be useful. The APNIC training course material can be found here: http://www.apnic.net/training/recent/ and the policy development presentation I gave on the Friday (30th) can be found here: http://www.apnic.net/community/presentations/other.html There was quite a lot of good discussion at the NZNOG meeting on the current policy proposals so I'd like to encourage you to have a look at the full proposals and express your opinion on them! There was good feedback from the NZNOG community, especially on the issues of size and criteria for a minimum IPv4 allocation and reclamation of unused historical allocations. The proposals will be discussed at the upcoming APNIC meeting, but if you cannot make it to the meeting, you are welcome to participate in the discussion on the APNIC mailing lists. (We webcast the meetings too, so you can follow them online.) The current proposals are listed here: http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/proposals/ You can subscribe to one of the mailing lists here: http://www.apnic.net/community/lists/ Policy stuff might not feel that operational, but the policies do affect you if you're running a business on the Internet and the only way to change them is to voice your opinon. We haven't had a lot of feedback from New Zealand in the past, so it'd be good to get your perspective in some of the discussions! If you have any questions about the proposals, the meeting or the discussions, don't hesitate to shoot me a mail. Cheers, Nurani ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nurani Nimpuno <nurani(a)apnic.net> APNIC Training Tel:+61-7-38583100 http://www.apnic.net Fax:+61-7-38583199 ------------------------------------------------------------------ See you at the 17th APNIC Open Policy Meeting!
