I've received an approach from a Malaysian ISP, wishing to contact their NZ equivalents, as the clocks turnover to '00. I would guess there there will be others, who are interested in how NZ is faring, and potentially use the 6, or 8, or 17 hours of leeway they have productively in the event of some unforeseen problem. I would rather not have the entire worlds ISP support staff phone their counterparts in NZ to enquire "How it going?". Given the fact many of them will simply want to silently observe that there is no problem, what is the best way to go about this? Let them subscribe to the nog? Form a special NOG for the brown-out period 11/99-1/00? Suggest that no-one in NZ really cares about the rest of the world, and they can all....... Appoint Peter Mott as a Y2K spokesman? and direct all enquiries to him? Any one any other suggestions? Many Thanks. Rgds Roger De Salis -- \_ Roger De Salis Cisco Systems NZ Ltd
What, someone is going to be working then ? Not me for sure, waste of a good party that would be ! Roger De Salis wrote:

And personally I don't have time to think about this now, since there are only six or so months left to finish stocking my secret survival fortress with small arms and nuclear batteries. On a more tedious, on-topic note, is anybody else interested in keeping a central repository of contact e-mail addresses and phone numbers for NZ net ops? Not for consumption by the general public, but maybe stuck on a web page somewhere behind a crude password? I was thinking in terms of contacts for categories, like: + usenet feed-tweaking + abuse notification + routing strangeness + network peering + proxy peering The idea is to provide a list of second-tier and third-tier support to our counterparts in other providers, so that we don't end up having to do battle with the helpdesk IVR at 3am when something nasty just happened. Just an idea -- any comments? Joe --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Currently I have a small subset of what I'd like listed in my cell-phone. It would seem like a damn fine idea, do I get to make up the crude password? I'm good at crude, I also do tasteless etc.....
