Hi all -
Thanks for your feedback regarding CSPAN at the next NANOG. Based on the
concerns that some of you raised I've decided *not* to send out the media
advisory to CSPAN and the press. Issues leading to that decision included
1) attendees holding their tongues for fear of being misquoted,
"Joe X from NetQ said '....' might be stated more succinctly as
"NetQ representatives said '.....' or "NetQ said '....'
2) the press misunderstanding and then overemphasizing some issues
There was also a fear that marketing folks might be attracted to the bright
lights and degrade the technical quality of the meeting. Reasonable concerns.
Cheers -
Bill
