Haha. I can't believe I'm going to respond to the ASR alias, but ok, I will.

Rumor has it that Mr. Hannigan Not quite accurate, Chip. I advocated my position that the community didn't want certain things and stuck by the presentation that was made in Albuquerque. I interpreted that to mean that what appeared to be consensus was what y'all wanted as policy.

Well, not accurate again. :-) Of course there was a "lawyer" comment, but you're out of context. The actual comment was in something that started out as fairly ridiculous to begin with. Here's my followup quote: "It was meant to be facetious. I think that some of this stuff has gotten fairly ridiculous to be honest." > Rumor also has it that the rest of the MLC voted and unanimously requested > that Marty be removed on multiple occasions, but the SC and Merit weren't > willing to step up to the plate and handle the situation. I can't imagine why Not accurate again. Who's your source, Sparky? I volunteered to resign at the last meeting in order to quell any sort of mass disruption based on my perception of what y'all wanted in terms of list policy. Trust me when I say that some of the things being proposed as list policy behind the scenes was quite ridiculous. I'm completely at peace with that. NANOG isn't the five of you who think that the world revolves around you. > anyone would want to volunteer for the MLC in the future considering this > treatment, and I second Mr. Seastrom's calls for the SC to do the honorable > thing and commit seppuku. The symptom is a sore throat. It's been treated with a cough drop. The problem is an infection. Shifting the blame is not the anti biotic. All I can offer as an observance is that there are multiple commercial conflicts with members of the SC, myself, other members, and the community. Creating a political atmosphere in NANOG is not working because of the commercial conflicts. But I do think that the SC, finally -- /cough cough no hernia push harder/, did the right thing. Hey Paul, why don't you put your money where your big mouth is and step up to the plate and try and make everyone happy being on the MLC?
