I'm not very comfortable having the media at the meeting. There is a certain amount of free trade of information and ideas that flows and having the media may stifle that. At San Jose, at one of the after parties, I was in a conversation with another engineer when someone joined our conversation and didn't identify herself immediately. After about 15-20 minutes she handed me a card, she was a reporter for one of the local San Jose papers. I started to freak out a little..."what have I said out loud over the past 15 minutes!". What we were talking about could have *easily* been taken out of context.... Granted, that wasn't a NANOG specific event, but I felt the trust was violated a bit... -Steve _______________________________________________ Nanog-futures mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures
