[AusNOG] George Brandis - Be Warned

[Paul Wallace]

Given the Gov seems committed to this policy I'm surprised they haven't instructed NBNCo to embark on early compliance.

.. or maybe they have already??

I think you've forgotten what the AusNOG acronym stands for or forgotten what is in the charter - it's the Australian Network *O*perator's *G*roup. It's fundamentally a technical group.

ISOC-AU (http://www.isoc-au.org.au/ )and/or EFA (https://www.efa.org.au/) are the appropriate groups for this discussion.
