New Zealand is a bi-cultural, bi-lingual society and the Maori Internet Society represents Maori users. It was formed in 1997 as a grass roots organisation, and became an ALS in 2006. Their current issues incude cyber safety issues, protecting users from viruses, on-line scams, etcand a lack of access to the Internet. Members interact using emails, Facebook, Twitter and blogs. Currently they are doing research on how indigenous names are being used, which KT will present the first week in November. > > > > - Policy Update: Olivier summarized the current issues before ICANN, including ALAC's involvement in the policies.
