List of all DNC authorised registrars is available with .nz domain name pricing and other details. Please be advised that the list is out of date but it will be updated in future.   Monday, 12 August 2002 NZOC Chair says one thing and does another... Reading the InternetNZ minutes I see a comment that Frank March, chair of the NZOC said "He noted that the NZOC expected the DNC to perform to Budget, and that this would not be possible if the Society were to interfere in that expenditure." I find this curious as he was present at the AGM and the minutes show I was the only one to vote against the motion 02/90 he is referring too. 11:56:28 PM      Like to comment? [] Domainz staff makes amusing post to NZNOG Tim John, the IT Manager of Domainz made and interesting post to NZNOG this morning. Lets just list some of his more interesting comments: "Thank you for those words of reason; they are like a ray of light through the shadows." "We are paying for the registry part of the existing system to be rebuilt and separated from us" "... we are under the constant threat from our shareholders who are considering closing Domainz down. " OK, I guess that to Tim an interesting ongoing discussion over Domainz's name servers, that he started, is a Bad Thing™. He claims Domainz is paying for the Registry. This is half correct. Domainz, at their own request, (in fact demand would be better) paid for the Technical Manager contract as well as the start of the development costs. The Chair of Domainz even accused people of wasting money as Domainz could use 'pre tax dollars' for this and not post tax if InternetNZ paid. Of course Domainz is in the process of charging NZRS for all work todate on non registrar costs (actually Domainz might be having some registrar related costs paid for within SRS). Last but not least InternetNZ passed a motion quite some time ago that InternetNZ would NOT own a registrar in a competitive environment and in the medium to long term would dispose of Domainz. This is like the Office of the Privacy Commissioner running its own direct mail marketing company! It is even up to the Domainz board to come up with a business plan on life post SRS for Domainz. I guess the Board of Domainz has failed to inform their staff about the intent of its shareholder? 11:31:13 PM      Like to comment? [] © Copyright 2007 Foxbane Ltd and Steven Heath.
