InternetNZ’s Pub-Pol Committee and Tech-Pol Committees held meetings in October covering off a range of public and technical policy issues including InternetNZ intending to draft a proposal for holding a stand-alone IPv6 Hui next year, and momentum is already beginning to build with several possible industry partners.
