NetHui

NetHui is New Zealand's multi-stakeholder web conference on Internet governance and policy issues.[1] NetHui 2014's statement of kaupapa, which also appears on the NZNOG website, reads:

"NetHui is a community event where everyone’s opinions and ideas are equally valued. The event is open to all people regardless of age, background, gender or ethnicity... A respectful open attitude towards others is expected from all participants, speakers, exhibitors and volunteers. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated and may result in your removal from the event."[2]

InternetNZ provides the NetHui platforms and events along with various interested people, organisations and other sponsors. The NetHui brand is recognised as a leading Internet Governance Forum meeting.[3]

Hon Amy Adams, Minister for Communications & Information Technology presented a Ministerial address at NetHui 2013. The International Keynote was given by Quinn Norton. All sessions and presentations were live-streamed and video recordings made available from the official site, now archived.

Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand Bill English opened NetHui 2014. Differing from previous years, speakers and sessions were [only] live-streamed to maximise [synchronous] participation.[4] Afterwards more attention could be paid to New Zealand's most inclusive Web conference as it was storified. Privacy Commissioner John Edwards' New Zealand Keynote Address was uploaded to YouTube. A notable exchange occurred in the session on Trolling in which blogger G Spite responded to David Harvey with "With all due respect I think your opinion is horseshit."[5]

NetHui 2015 is being community-led and is organised to be held again in the SkyCity Auckland Convention Centre in July.[6]
