"If a presentation will name a particular vendor, that vendor should receive an advance draft so that their reps are prepared to speak at the mic about their intentions. "
One of the least savory aspects of the technical press and industry analyst worlds is something called pre-pub review. That's where big vendors pay you to see stuff before its printed, so they can attempt to censor it. It happens all the time, and you never know about it.
Hi Daniel, That's quite a bit further than anything I suggested. My notion was that after the presentation has been accepted, the mentioned vendors receive a copy... not so they can attempt to squelch it but so that they can respond when the presentation is given. Besides, which among you would dare try to squelch a NANOG presentation? Y'all are well familiar with the Streisand Effect.
