When I used to go to ICANN meetings (haven't been to one in years), =
there were always a number of folks from the RIR community there, which =
at least in the ARIN region, tends to have non-trivial intersection with =
the NANOG community. I would be quite surprised if I was "the only guy =
who's heard about it".
