why not confine the effort to the one need that seems to clearly exist: a place for network engineers to solicit vendors of the goods and services that network engineers buy?
If there's a real need for that ( which my voicemail and email might say is debatable :) ) , then someone could start that, but I do not think NANOG itself should. Biz-dev is not the stated mission of the organization. On Mon, Mar 22, 2021 at 12:52 PM William Herrin <bill@herrin.us> wrote:

That seems like a reasonable proposal. NANOG-OffTopic, NANOG-Discuss, NANOG-BizDev, NANOG-xyz, something (more more than one something).
Hi Mike,
This conversation started because someone got called to carpet for soliciting a vendor on the main list. Rather than guessing at how to split up topics, why not confine the effort to the one need that seems to clearly exist: a place for network engineers to solicit vendors of the goods and services that network engineers buy?
