nanog is a separable game. it is currently very confused between form
and substance, making committees for everything. like the bcop thing.
two organizations, nanog and isoc, forming organizational structures to
create a document store. the ops' doc store is ripe's because the ripe
wgs produced work and someone realized they needed a place to stash it.
so now nanog and isoc need to flag-plant. the up-side is that it's a
great b-ark, keeps them from doing damage.

i purposefully phrased it a bit differently, how can arin engage, get
real participation from, and serve its community, the operators. i was
stealing examples from ripe.
but, for concrete action, how about a half day session at the next nanog
meeting on, for example, arin database services, whois and irr. not to
try to reach hard conclusions or plans. but to open a dialog to explore
what the community gets and wants from these services and how they are
provided.
or pick another key service.
