A number of members of the Pacific Islands Chapter of the Internet Society (PICISOC) expressed disappointment over poor standards of reporting by Michael Field in his article "Pacific atolls host world's most dangerous websites", released last month by Fairfax Media, New Zealand.

Danny: I have copied the committee in on this reply. Of course I can suggest this as a topic, but may I suggest that the best way to raise an issue is for Wendy to bring it up?
