<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is AusNog an organisation or purely a mailing-list? </div>
<div>how much independance does the list have?
<div>to stir the pot; say for instance if we wanted to discuss setting up an independant IX? is there any commerical entities that we cannot critize, e.g. list owner? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best Regards</div>
<div> Phill.<br><br> </div></div>

<br> the exchange of technical information, the discussion of specific<br> implementation issues that require cooperation among network service<br> providers, the discussion of operational issues, and the discussion of
<br> technical issues directly relating to the internet service provision<br> and telecommunications industry.<br><br> This is NOT a forum for journalists to pick up leads, sales people to<br> sell things, or end-users to pester their ISP. Such behaviour will not
<br> be tolerated (see "Moderation" below).<br><br> Professional respect:<br><br> As a list subscriber, you are required to respect the opinion of<br> others, even if you disagree with it. Healthy debate on a topic is
<br> good, however personal attacks or flaming will not be tolerated.<br><br> It would be worthwhile for new list subscribers to become familiar<br> with the posters on the list before jumping in. Some of the guys here
<br> are experts in their field and have spent years building large-scale<br> networks. Their experience is a resource to be valued.<br><br> Remember that when you post mail to the AusNOG mailing list, your post<br> will be received by hundreds, or even thousands, or your current and
<br> potential peers, customers, suppliers and employers. Think before<br> posting . you don't want to look foolish in front of these people as<br> these are the very people you may need to ask for a job, or a favour,
<br> one day. The list is also publically archived.<br><br> We ask that list subscribers refrain from using derogatory language,<br> both towards individuals, and towards companies or products.<br><br> Posting:<br><br>
(a) Don't quote 50 lines of text and add one line to it. Quote what is<br> necessary to maintain context, but don't overdo it;<br><br> (b) Keep your signatures and disclaimers short. It's no fun seeing<br>
signatures that are longer than your posts :-)<br><br> (c) Do not cross-post to multiple lists;<br><br> (d) Please don't post in HTML format - it tends to annoy people who<br> read with text mode clients :-(<br><br>
Attachments:<br><br> Please don't :-)<br><br> Autoresponders:<br><br> Please make sure that if you do use an autoresponder, it's configured<br> to not autorespond to list e-mail. If it does, your list membership
<br> will, in all probability, be suspended until it's fixed.<br><br> Moderation:<br><br> The AusNOG mailing list is reactively moderated - that is to say that<br> posts will be delivered to members immediately, but if the moderators
<br> see the list being abused the abuser(s) will be asked to refrain from<br> their activities. If the abuser(s) does not cease, their list<br> subscription will be set to moderated mode, requiring all future posts<br>
to be moderator approved. Further inappropriate activity may result in<br> the list member being removed.<br><br> Moderators will be appointed by the list operators in due course.<br> Moderators will be selected from the list membership, and will be
<br> listed on this page.<br>_______________________________________________<br>AusNOG mailing list<br><a href="mailto:AusNOG@ausnog.net">AusNOG@ausnog.net</a><br><a href="http://www.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog">http://www.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog
