I agree. By the way, email is not the only means of contact for operational issues. There is also the telephone, but the problem is that most effective numbers are unlisted and those who know them really don't want to publish them. INOC-DBA was supposed to solve this issue, but I don't think enough people know about it. Or perhaps it's number plan tie-in to ASnums tends to restrict it to only people involved in peering. http://www.pch.net/inoc-dba/ There are a number of issues surrounding operational contacts, that I would suggest that the topic needs a FAQ of its own. The email filtering/ticketing issues are just one aspect of the problem. --Michael Dillon _______________________________________________ Nanog-futures mailing list Nanog-futures@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures
