[AusNOG] AusNOG list charter

[David J. Hughes]

I attended NZNog in Christchurch last year and was pleasantly  
surprised by the event and the organisation itself.  A really well  
run event with a good grass-roots appeal, full of real people doing  
real world things - although with a funny accent ;-).  It's been a  
long time since we saw an event like that here in Australia.

I've been a bit quiet on the conference front since helping with the  
early days of APRICOT and QUESTnet / NetWorkshop before that, but I'd  
certainly be happy to help out with AusNOG if there's a chance of  
getting it off the ground.


Thanks

David
