Since the NRIC is contacting industry groups, it seems to me that they should contact NANOG! Perhaps NRIC will present at the next meeting?

I've only been to one NRIC meeting. What a snore. Not even any good hallway/bar conversations. The problem with the Internet is it either has too many industry groups or not enough. CIX, ITAA, ISP/C, TISPA, ISOC, IETF, ICANN, IOPS, ASPF, etc. And AOL is a industry representative of one. The reality is NRIC or the FCC has no idea who to contact about Internet issues. I suspect, but don't know, NRIC sent a letter to IOPS and considers that the industry.
