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.
