[AusNOG] Metadata retention... it's now (almost) a thing

[Matt Perkins]

That fact's seem to be that this legislation will pass without 
consultation outside the gang of 4 at least and there is little if 
anything we can do about it. So the conversion should really switch to. 
What technically do we need to do to meet the requirements of the 
legislation or instruments. Can we clearly define that so people in our 
industry can work to a place where we can all provide the same 
information and be sure that we have not missed something that will 
cause grief down the track.

A bit of a nightmare situation for us might be. We in good faith keep 
the information we think is required under the act. But one day get 
asked for something we dont have and as a result are penalised for 
effectively not being able to put extra finds into compliance legals.

Smaller carriage service providers dont have on staff legal team and 
cant spend $100,000 on compliance and remain cost effective. We rely in 
some ways on some people being jack of all trades and doing our best to  
understand the requirements. It's my hope that the government will 
clearly transmit the requirements to us in a format that we can 
understand and comply with.   Failing that im sure there is a lot of us 
that will rely on our peers to work through the requirements together 
and hope we have not missed something.

Matt.
