Join us at 12 noon on Friday 24 February for this month’s REANNZ Member Open Forum for an update on REANNZ’s activities. It’s also a fantastic opportunity for you to ask us any questions you might have.

A lot has happened since the last Open Forum in November. We’re starting to do things a little differently, in that we’re seeking to be more responsive to the needs of our members. In part, the idea is to listen more to your needs, and be more active in offering the services and capabilities you require.

As you’ll see, some of the items we’ll discuss in the forum reflect this new approach.

Forum highlights

• REANNZ Internet
• Settlement-free peering
• The Openflow workshop
• Connecting schools
• The next REANNZ network design
• Other breaking news

About the open forums

At 12 noon on the last business Friday of every month, senior members of the REANNZ team host a virtual forum to which any and all KAREN Members are invited. These monthly forums provide an opportunity for KAREN Members to learn about and quiz us directly on the latest developments at REANNZ.

This month, your host will be Chris Litten, REANNZ’s Member Engagement Manager. He’ll give a brief update on the month’s major developments and then open the floor to questions, comments and discussion.
