[AusNOG] Copyright Negotiations with ISPs

[Brad Gould]

13 Directors.

Telstra, iiNet, Optus, Voda, AAPT, M2, Macquarie Telecom, Pivotel.  Thats 8 of 13.  That has to cover the vast majority of customers in this country.  (TPG isnt a member).

Then there is NBNCo.

After that there is Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent, both Vendors.

Chairman - http://www.itnews.com.au/News/160318,former-minister-to-chair-comms-alliance.aspx

I struggle to see how the alignment of the Board could be anything other than representing the ISP/Telco industry.

The directors don't seem very representative of ISPs at all.

Yup, I see almost a dozen ISPs in that list.
Given official numbers claim between 600-1000 ISPs in Australia, that makes it a very "industry representative" view. </sarcasm>

(Side note: it's never stopped non-representative groups claiming to be "industry representative bodies" before, question is - what (if anything) is to be done about it, and who's going to do it?)
