Because the bulk of people on naipr unsubscribed to get away from you,
and nanog is currently the only (while inappropriate) mailing list with
a significant audience.
naipr is certainly a better place for this than nanog. For those who
are unfamiliar with naipr and wish to join, send a "subscribe" to
naipr-request@arin.net.

Some matters are only relevant to ARIN members; there is no need to make
members-only announcements public.

Perhaps because RIPE and APNIC customers don't have these complaints;
they're specific to ARIN. naipr fits the need and is underutilized.

I am sure that the IANA will continue to do what is necessary to serve
its customers (the registries).
