Not even remotely true. Pilosov is just one that springs to mind. He may
or may not be an immigrant, but I know for sure that he's from Russia.
There have been others, but I never remember names (unless I had to fill
out paperwork for foreign contacts, and thank *goodness* I'm now retired).
Still, the point stands. Whether or not people from elsewhere attend
NANOG meetings, or participate in the mailing list, it is STILL the
*North* *American* Network Operators' Group. The footprint looms large
because the footprint of NA is large on the Internet, and because so
many of the old hands from the beginnings are still on the list
(although it's been a month of Sundays since I saw George William
Herbert make a comment).
So it goes.
