InternetNZ (formally "Internet New Zealand Inc." and originally formed as the Internet Society of New Zealand) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to protecting and promoting the Internet in New Zealand and fostering a coordinated, cooperative approach to its ongoing development.[1]

[edit] History

The Internet Society of New Zealand was originally formed in 1995 in order to take responsibility for the .nz ccTLD.

[edit] Relationship with Internet Society

Although InternetNZ shares many of it's aims with, the Internet Society, it has never been a chapter of that organisation despite sharing some aims. In April 2008 the organisation formally changed their official name to "Internet New Zealand Inc." to recognise common usage and reflect these differences.[2] InternetNZ did, however, join the Internet Society in 2006 as an organisational member.[3]
