Are you suggesting that NANOG should publish a set of operational best practices and then only offer the NANOG seal of approval to companies which adhere to those best practices?
The Good Netkeeping Seal of Approval, yes.
If there is one thing that will stop telecoms regulators from attempting to regulate the Internet, it is this. The technical term is "industry self regulation".
And it would have the side effect of assembling all of those best practices in a central place where those occasaional operators of really small networks (like me :-) who care what they are can conveniently find them. I'd recommend a wiki. Running MediaWiki. But then, I recommend that for all centralized knowledge capture situations. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
