Hi Philip, folks,
I did actually send this to NANOG, unfortuantely I didn't realise I wasn't
on the nanog-post list:( Really should read the wevbsite when I sign up
for these things.
For that stupidity my apologies.
If anyone has other suggestions besides the ripe lists and nanog of where
we should post such updates please let me know off list <crain@icann.org>.
Despite all the rhetoric about ICANN being a secret and evil club this is
one bit of info we really meant to get out there. (Honest:)
John
