Hi all -

Thanks for your feedback regarding CSPAN at the next NANOG. Based on the concerns that some of you raised I've decided *not* to send out the media advisory to CSPAN and the press. Issues leading to that decision included 1) attendees holding their tongues for fear of being misquoted, "Joe X from NetQ said '....' might be stated more succinctly as "NetQ representatives said '.....' or "NetQ said '....' 2) the press misunderstanding and then overemphasizing some issues

There was also a fear that marketing folks might be attracted to the bright lights and degrade the technical quality of the meeting. Reasonable concerns.

Cheers -
