[AusNOG] So, who is joining iiNet?

[Mark Walkom]

This may be a purely academic discussion anyway thanks to the Korean FTA -

I dug into the “National Interest Assessment” itself and found the gem on

It's still worth making noise and standing against this.

A similar discussion has been started on SAGE-AU and there appears to be
some traction on getting something happening with both groups. I strongly
encourage anyone from either group to contact the respective execs and let
them know if you would like to work together.


(Disclaimer, I'm a SAGE-AU member and currently on the NSW Exec)
