Tim, I agree with your call for co-locating/coordinating the conferences. I believe that the NANOG community will be able to positively influence the ISoc conference agenda, content, and sense of reality. -- Guy

There seems to be a smallish problem here. ISoc Ops is not NANOG NANOG is targeted (per Charter) for North American specific issues, including interaction w/ other Operational groups (like IEPG and EOF). IEPG seems to be chartered for global operations coordination. EOF seems to be targeted for European specific issues, including interaction w/ other Operational groups (like IEPG and NANOG) Not having seen the ISoc Ops charter nor program, it seems a bit presumptious to co-opt them into a NA focus group w/o any input from the ISoc folks running the show. That said, I concur w/ Guys statments. --bill
