- Statement of Acceptance:
-
- I have seven year's experience in all aspects of networking, with
- extensive participation in Auckland University's campus network,
- and Kawaihiko Network (linking the seven New Zealand universities),
- Tuia (New Zealand's "NREN"), PACCOM (the Pacific Communications
- consortium), IEPG and IETF. This experience gives me a thorough
- understanding of how the Internet is constructed, and the problems
- of co-ordinating activities within it, for example those relating
- to its growth and development. I represent a small country at the
- outer edge of the Internet which has been quick to realise the
- benefits of internetworking. I believe this gives me the
- understanding to represent small countries effectively.
-
- I have furthered long-standing interests by being actively involved
- in the IETF's Internet Accounting and Operational Statistics
- Working Groups. We need better monitoring methods to improve the
- performance of our networks. Internet Accounting willl give us a
- tool to measure the traffic flows generated by users or groups of
- users. Such measurements will become an essential aid in developing
- networks both large and small.
-
- Overall, I believe that access to the Internet should be available
- to everyone everywhere - 'the ubiquitous Internet' - at an
- affordable cost. I have always been an active member of any group
- I belong to, and will work to develop the ubiquitous Internet as
- a long-term goal.
