[AusNOG] CA Data Retention costs letter to Ministers

[Beeson, Ayden]

I doubt we have seen everything they have done, but if they have truly done nothing now then it can't get worse by you being members, you can't get worse than 0.

I don't think they would be attaching your name onto anything you didn't agree with...

Failing that, why don't you all form a coalition of small providers and act as one medium / large member?

Only thing I know for sure is that complaining here isn't stopping the government, all the very valid discussions here need to get out of this group to have any serious impact.

As evidenced by that house of reps image earlier, they don't care, so it's time to start hammering senators as a unified group, as it's not going to stop otherwise and once it's in it'll be really hard to change anything.

Cheers,
Ayden

If it's cost, perhaps you'd be best served by raising that with them and getting a tier / tiers implemented that suit your smaller ISP status, even if it's at a different member level, at least you'd be "at the table"
