History

The Internet Society of New Zealand was originally formed in 1995 to take responsibility for the .nz country code top-level domain. In 2006 the Internet Society of New Zealand joined the Internet Society as an organisational member. Despite sharing many aims with the Internet Society, InternetNZ is not a chapter of the Internet Society. On the 31 October 2007 InternetNZ formalised its relationship with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). In doing so ICANN recognised InternetNZ as the country code top level domain manager for .nz. In April 2008, The Internet Society of New Zealand formally changed its official name to Internet New Zealand Inc.

InternetNZ Fellows

InternetNZ periodically confers the InternetNZ Fellowship award on people who make ‘an outstanding contribution to the development of the internet in New Zealand’.

Events

NetHui conference

From 2011–2020 InternetNZ organised NetHui conferences around New Zealand encouraging New Zealanders to meet and discuss the benefits and issues of the internet.
