[AusNOG] DRIP submission deadline extension request clarity

[Andrew Yager]

Hi,

John Stanton from Comms Alliance is planning to submit a formal request to
the responsible departments/ministers/shadow ministers requesting a formal
acknowledgement of regulatory forebearance for providers seeking to submit
their DRIPs by 6 months. This is also important for providers who are
submitting DRIPs who may require subsequent changes following a response
from the CAC. Currently a provider submitting now that was "knocked back"
for some or all of their DRIP would be technically in breach of their
requirements come October 13th, even having completed a DRIP and John's
requests would provide certainty around this.

You have the option to be a co-signatory to this letter if you wish. I
believe one of the issues to date with Data Retention has been the inaction
by large parts of our industry who have not actively and effectively
engaged with government and so they have been able to "ignore" the small
providers of the industry. Perhaps this is one way of drawing the
government's attention to the "long tail of small providers".

This has been discussed on the isp-sig list, but if you would like to be a
signatory on this letter please get in contact with John.

He ultimately needs your name, job title, company and an electronic
signature.

Thanks,
