Paul, Anne's opinion is just as valid as the others here. I have also browsed through the recent attendee lists and do not see you listed either, pot calling the kettle black. Your comments about her email signature and which voices are valid here, are not productive. We are allowed to back up and/or side with whomever we please, even if it includes the NANOG board, staff, and committee members. We are also allowed to call people out on their behavior towards others. Anyway, no one truly knows how many people could have raised the scheduling issue with various committee members, the board, staff, or provided feedback via the contact form on the website, and who knows it could have come from young women. Those voices do not have to come from the mailing list, to be just as valid as ours.

Hi, Anne- I'm sure that your time was better spent gathering the "credentials" in your signature, but I checked the last 20 or so NANOG meetings and didn't see a single registration from you, so perhaps stay out of things you know literally nothing about. If it weren't for Ilissa, NANOG would not exist in the form that it does today, and she's done more work on and off the clock driving the success of the organization and their meetings than she takes credit for. NANOG, and especially the women that attend NANOG, owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude. Her opinion, and Tina's response, are literally the only ones that carry any weight in this thread, period. -- Drive Slow, Paul Wall Rapper, Retired, and Actor Swishahouse Alum Author: Get Money, Stay True Nominated: Best Rap Performance as a Duo or Group Winner: Best Rap Collaboration Winner: Best Rap/R&B Collaboration Winner: Taste Maker (Style and Trendsetter) Contributor: Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition for Xbox and PlayStation 2 – "Sittin' Sidewayz" Author: The Peoples Champ Emeritus: Houston University (no degree) On Thu, Mar 28, 2024 at 3:24 PM Anne P.

There's always someone unhappy because this event wasn't the same, or why was it in this room over here, or OMG Wed afternoon, etc. Having seen how that sausage gets made, they don't get enough credit.
Having been the chair of the Asilomar Microcomputer workshop, and the founder and chair of the original Email Deliverability Summits, as well as organizing many legal conferences, I have to say "^^^ this, 1000%."

..and you haven't here, either. Pointing fingers and griping about things is not constructive. If you really care about this issue, then get involved and help change it.
