I think Sean is correct. Ira Ritcher was on NRIC IV and I understand from Ira the original proposal to include ISP monitoring came from Ira. Ira was not actually representing IOPS before NRIC IV and neither Ira nor IOPS are members of the current NRIC, NRIC V. Nothing on the IOPS webpage reflects any news in this regard. More to come. -B www.cybertelecom.org ------Original Message------ From: Sean Donelan <sean@donelan.com> To: garlic@garlic.com Sent: August 25, 2000 7:43:26 PM GMT Subject: Re: NRIC Monitoring ISPs On Fri, 25 August 2000, Roy wrote:

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. ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
