Law Enforcement and DMCA Designated Agent NANOG Mailing List Committee c/o Merit Network, Inc. 1000 Oakbrook Drive Suite 200 Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104-6794 Telephone: (734)764-9430 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is just plain weird. Is this some kind of legal requirement in the USA? Has anyone ever posted any copyrighted material to the NANOG list? Given the short size of email messages, wouldn't any copyrighted material be considered to be "fair use" quotations? Since the MLC consists of several individuals, only one of whom works at Merit, this seems to be making Sue Joiner the official legal contact for the mailing list. Is that her phone number? The extra paragraph added to each AUP item seems rather forced, often restating the obvious with slightly different words. Is there an issue with understanding of AUP items? If so, then perhaps it would be worth addressing those specific misunderstandings. If not, then why add the extra words? I wonder what is the point of saying that NANOG is neutral in matters of politics. It wouldn't hurt to clarify the AUP with specific examples but the added text in this document is wishy washy and detracts from the short punchy nature of the AUP itself. On the other hand, a statement like: No Differentiation The MLC will consider all policies equal. isn't punchy at all. It's just meaningless and I wonder why it is in the MLC processes. For that matter, given that this is an MLC operational procedure document, why is it repeating the AUP at all? --Michael Dillon _______________________________________________ Nanog-futures mailing list Nanog-futures@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures
