NSP-* were retired for a multitude of reasons. Quoting Barry Greene from Jan 10, 2025 on the primary NSP-SEC list:
Many of us are retiring. We’re losing people (we miss Don). We do not have people to be the facilitators/admins - we are just too busy.
Best of all, NSP-SEC pioneered the principle of operational trust, where we collectively work together to tackle security incidents rapidly. Our collaboration builds “Service Provider Security.” We have many other groups that spun out. Our collaboration created ISOI and other “fight club” work.
Thank you to everyone who participated over the decades (yes, it has been decades).
As Barry mentioned, there are spin-off groups that now carry the torch for the work that the original NSP-* lists pioneered.

I was a big fan of the *-nsp@puck.nether.net<mailto:*-nsp@puck.nether.net> mailing lists that now seem to be completely gone without any indication of whether or when they might return.
I've been considering just setting up new ones.
Please email me off-list if you think this might be useful.
Thanks, -Drew
