Hi Warrick

Thanks for your interest in AusNOG. Naturally, the last year has been challenging and saw us not hold the annual conference for the first time since our inception. It also reduced the urgency on some of our internal projects, although they continue to progress.

Regarding changing the legal entity that operates AusNOG, our objective has always been to move to a more traditional Not For Profit structure. That work is well underway.

Regarding the conference, we retain a booking for September at the Fullerton Hotel Sydney (nee Westin Sydney) which we will use if the COVID situation allows. We met recently to discuss other options for 2021 should it prove challenging to hold our traditional event. We'll provide details to this list when we have more concrete plans and the COVID restrictions stabilise further.

Regards

David

Hi David and Terry,

In AusNOG 2018, David in his closing remarks talked about moving AusNOG
towards an incorporated association with members.

Since then we had AusNOG 2019 and I believe there were some remarks about this moving forward (however the slides are not up on the ausnog site to
refer to for the closing remarks) and as I understand it three of the
directors of AusNOG resigned and have not been replaced yet.

So do we have an update on what's happening with AusNOG as an entity? It
feels like it's stalled on the highway...

In 2020, it was announced there would be no AusNOG conference at all, due
to COVID-19.

David mentioned a conference in September 2021, but what's the plan if
travel restrictions / border closures are still in place?

Perhaps we should consider having a conversation with our NZ cousins and
running a virtual conference together etc might be an idea?

Cheers,
Warrick
