Although Merit worked hard in recent years to take more of a community approach, in the end, Merit has final say on all things Nanog. In my personal opinion, that needs to change. Are we an independent community based organization, or a community based organization that has parental supervision? -Steve ___ Nanog-futures mailing list Nanog-futures@nanog.org https://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures

I'll second that. I'll admit to my jaw dropping when I read the announcement, but I think it's the direction we need to go (and maybe even long overdue). Merit has done a great job, but I think the nature of the relationship has needed to change. -Steve ___ Nanog-futures mailing list Nanog-futures@nanog.org https://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures
Re: [Nanog-futures] Media at NANOG conferences
Philip Smith expunged ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > We'd like to hear the community's opinion on this. We've drafted a > "Media Policy" based on what other events like ours do; see the > attachment below... Any opinions? Constructive suggestions? 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 Nanog-futures@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures
