Maori Information Technology and Telecommunications
Council (MITTC) has been calling on the Government to support the
development of a Maori IT&T policy which focuses on developing a
comprehensive goal driven IT&T strategy for Maori by Maori.
Graeme Everton on behalf of MITTC has been responsible
for organising a meeting of Government departments later this week to
discuss their contribution to developing a strategy, while also working
to bring together a number of Maori people and organisations to
contribute to the work of developing a plan. Please contact Graeme at graeme@everton.co.nz if you have

Creating a new ".aa" Internet country code
for "Aotearoa" which would sit alongside New Zealand's existing ".nz"
Internet address system is one of the proposals to come out of a hui of
Maori information technologists.
The hui was organised by Te Puni Koriri and
observed by officials from Internal Affairs.
It was intended to tackle the issue of how
Maori involvement in information technology could be increased and links
with the Government and private-sector IT organisations
improved.
