Hi all,
Those at PacNOG 3 last week heard of the ICANN meeting being held
this week. For others on the list just wanted to give this heads up
in case you weren't aware:
The 29th meeting of ICANN is underway in Puerto Rico this week.
Participation is free to anyone who wishes to either attend
physically or remotely.
For those interested the meeting website http://
sanjuan2007.icann.org/ would be a good starting point.
There's also audio/video streaming of the some of the sessions.
Some issues and events at the meeting include:
-Progress on a creating a policy to introduce new generic top-level
domains (the part of web addresses after the dot -- like .com or .info)
-Update on the testing process of introducing Internationalized
Domain Names (IDNs) to the Internet.
-A tutorial on IPv6 -- a major expansion of the Internet Protocol
address space so that the number unique addresses available globally
is increased dramatically (from about 4.3 billion available with the
current IPv4 to about 340 trillion trillion trillion).
-Further discussions of ICANN's Registrar Accreditation Agreements
(RAA) and the Accreditation process, arising out of the RegisterFly
collapse.
-The completion of the creation of the global Regional At Large
Organization (RALO) structure with the signing of the fifth and final
RALO agreement -- this one with the North American region. RALOs are
the main forum and coordination point for public input to ICANN on a
regional basis.
-The first General Assembly of the Latin American and Caribbean RALO,
which was formed at the ICANN meeting in Lisbon, Portugal in March.
Yesterday .fj ccTLD (Fiji) also signed an Accountability Framework
agreement with ICANN.
Also read the daily newsletter posted in the meeting site if you wish
to read briefs from the days happening.
New announcements from ICANN is also posted on it's website http://

NZNOG 08 - Call for Participation and Papers
The next conference of the New Zealand Network Operators' Group is to be
held in Dunedin, New Zealand between 23 January and 25 January 2008. Our
host is WIC.
NZNOG meetings provide opportunities for the exchange of technical
information and discussion of issues relating to the operation and
support of network services, with particular emphasis on New Zealand.
The conference is low priced and has a strong technical focus with the
aim and history of getting a strong turnout of technical personal from
New Zealand Internet orientated companies.
Conference Overview
-------------------
NZNOG 2008 will consist of one day workshop and tutorial day followed by
two days of conference presentations. There will also be opportunity for
more informal and small lightening talks. These are typically around five
minutes long and are organised closer to the actual conference.
Important Dates
---------------
Call for Papers opens: 25 June 2007
Deadline for speaker submissions: 6 August 2007
Responses to speaker submissions: 24 August 2007
Draft program published: 3 September 2007
Final program published: 1 November 2007
NZNOG 2008 Conference: 23 - 25 January 2008
SIG / Miniconf / Tutorials
--------------------------
The first day of the conference will again be a workshop and tutorial
day. It is usually run as one or more parallel 'interest group' streams
and practical or interactive workshops of interest to Network Operators.
This is a call for papers and activities for the first day of conference.
Examples of past activities workshops include 'MPLS and fixed access
networks for beginners', 'Mikrotik RouterOS Training', 'APNIC Internet
Resource Management Essentials', and a System Administrators
mini-conference which included talks on 'Using Debian packages for
system administration' and '42 hosts in 1U: Using virtual machines'.
Conference Presentations
------------------------
The main conference program for 2008 will be made up of two days with a
single stream where possible. Presentations don't need to fit any particular
fixed length and can be from 30 minutes to 3 hours in length.
NZNOG conferences have traditionally spanned the entire operational spectrum,
and then some. Proposals for conference presentations are invited for
virtually any topic with a degree of relevance to the NZNOG community.
Past years' talks have included the following:
- Internet exchange operations
- Global anycast networks and the building thereof
- Peering, peering, and peering
- Network security
- 10GB ethernet operations
- Advanced networks in NZ
- Current Internet research in NZ
- Wireless networking
- QOS over carrier networks
- Content distribution networks and media streaming
- How we paid the construction guys 18 pints of beer and they
gave us a free metro fibre network in Palmy North
- Open Source VoIP Platform in Carrier Environments
If you are interested in submitting a talk please fill out the questions
at then end of this document and email them to prog08(a)nznog.org .
Submission Guidelines
---------------------
When considering a presentation or SIG, remember that the NZNOG audience
is mainly comprised of technical network operators and engineers with a wide
range of experience levels from beginners to multi-year experience. There is
a strong orientation to offer core skills and basic knowledge in the SIGs
and to address issues relevant to the day-to-day operations of ISPs and
network operators in the conference sessions.
The inclusion of a title, bio, topic, abstract, and slides with proposals
is not compulsory but each will help us determine the quality of your
proposal and increase the likelihood it will be accepted.
Final slides are to be provided by 21 January 2008.
Note: While the majority of speaking slots will be submitted by 6 August 2007,
a limited number of slots may be available for presentations that are
exceptionally timely, important, or of critical operational importance.
The NZNOG conference is a TECHNICAL conference so marketing and commercial
content is NOT allowed within the program. The program committee is charged
with maintaining the technical standard of NZNOG conferences, and will
therefore not accept inappropriate materials. It is expected that the
presenter be a technical person and not a sales or marketing person. The
audience is extremely technical and unforgiving, and expects that the speakers
are themselves very knowledgeable. All sessions provide time for questions,
so presenters should expect technical questions and be prepared to deliver
insightful and technically deep responses.
Funding and Support
-------------------
NZNOG conferences are community run and funded events that try to keep the
cost to attendees as low as possible so generally we are unable to pay the
travel costs of speakers. There is a limited amount of funding available to
international speakers.
Conference presenters will not have to pay any registration fee for the day
they are presenting. Discounts for SIG and lightning talk presenters may
be available but are not automatic.
Lightning talks
---------------
Lightning talks are short talks/presentations that last no more than 10
minutes. This is a good opportunity to get your pet topic out there or
perhaps to get some experience with presenting without having to go to a
full talk. At NZNOG 2008 it is planned that there will be at least one
hour long lightning talk session.
Sponsors
--------
There are opportunities remaining for organisations to sponsor various
aspects of the NZNOG meeting.
Please contact sponsorship(a)nznog.org for more information

Subject: [SixXS] gblon02 PoP open for Australian and New Zealand
Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2007 16:40:51 +0100
From: Jeroen Massar <jeroen(a)sixxs.net>
Reply-To: info(a)sixxs.net
Organization: SixXS
To: info(a)sixxs.net
Hi,
We have been trying to get an ISP from Australian or New Zealand on board,
unfortunately it seems that we have met little interest up to now. In case
you do know an ISP who might be interested of course don't hesitate to let
point us to them, or let the, contact us. From several people we understood
that IPv6 connectivity that is provided in the AU/NZ region is quality wise
not the best and that there is no real alternative.
We recently opened a new PoP in London, UK. The owner of which (Goscomb
Technologies) has permitted any and all endpoints to be connected to
this PoP.
As such, if you don't mind the latency, which will most likely be around the
300-350ms range at least, you can now request a tunnel to the gblon02 PoP
and it will be approved. See below for an example traceroute, or test it
yourself using http://www.sixxs.net/tools/traceroute/
This at least allows one to get connectivity and start using it. Spread the
word and let your friends enjoy too.
In case you don't have enough credits to request a tunnel&subnet, don't
hesitate to give a shout and we'll make that in order.
Greets,
Jeroen

Thanks to APNIC, ISC and the USP for hosting a mirror of the F-root
nameserver.
Trust that ISPs (esp. in Fiji) explore and take this opportunity to
engage in peering arrangements.

A mirror of Internet F-root server went live in Suva, Fiji on 25 May
2007.
This is the first root nameserver to be deployed in the Pacific
islands and will bring significant improvements in speed and
reliability to Internet users in the region.
APNIC has coordinated this deployment with Internet Systems
Consortium (ISC) and University of the South Pacific.
This root nameserver deployment in Fiji will bring the total number
of root DNS servers in the Asia Pacific region to 35.
Joao Damas, ISC F-root Programme Manager, said, "ISC has been
involved in a global effort to bring resilient and dependable DNS
services to a new level. F-root anycast deployment is, together with
our TLD hosting service, a part of that effort. Collaboration with
APNIC and local agents has been crucial to enable delivery and it is
with great joy that with the installation in Fiji we see a DNS root
server present for the first time in the Pacific island states,
servicing various communities in the region."
USP provided a dedicated rack, a 24-hour backup electricity supply
and a secure environment for the installation. Simon Greaves, USP
Systems & Networks Manager, said they were "very enthusiastic about
hosting an F-root server here at the University of the South Pacific.
The combination of our high-speed Internet connection and VSAT
connections to 11 other Pacific Island countries uniquely places us
to extend the benefits of the F-root server to the region.
Paul Wilson, Director General of APNIC, added, "The deployment of
this root nameserver in Fiji is a positive example of Internet
community coordination. The installation has involved the not-for-
profit organisations and educational institutions working together to
improve DNS stability and Internet response times for developing
economies in the Pacific".
