November Newsletter

At our 2021 AGM held on Thursday 21 October, we passed special resolutions to modify the Constitution and held an election for the four vacant Board positions. As a result of the election, we welcomed back three current Board Members (Andrew Stirling, Matthew Prouse and Simone Dixon) and one past Board Member (Mike Behling). We wish to thank outgoing Directors Sreeni Pillamarri and Brad Stockman for their contributions to the Board over the past few years.

GNGB ACCC Determination

The ACCC has officially granted the Gateway Network Governance Body (GNGB) the authorisation for their revised MoU for a ten year period. This was an excellent result which protects Co-Sponsors (including DSPANZ) and Gateway Operators for a significant period of time and enables the GNGB to continue making an impact over the long term.
