Hi, I just noticed the following in the ISSUES section of the recent posting of the November ISOCNZ face-to-face:

* Who Owns Netgate? Portability of IP Addresses

Netgate is an operating name for a service of Telecom NZ. I don't think there is any doubt that if anybody owns Netgate, Telecom NZ does :) I think you meant NZGATE. NZGATE no longer exists as an operational entity - I don't think that _ownership_ of NZGATE is a useful concept. Portability of addresses in general is a different issue (and one that is rather clear-cut for new address allocations); however, it would certainly benefit from wider exposure at the face-to-face as there is still much confusion in the user community on this issue. I think a better heading would be: * What can be done about the legacy of NZGATE-delegated addresses within NZ? Ongoing portability of IP addresses. Notice I said "can" and not "should" :) Joe -- Joe Abley Tel +64 9 912-4065, Fax +64 9 912-5008 Network Architect, CLEAR Net http://www.clear.net.nz/ --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
