Hmmm... Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Keeping the quality people on =
the net on the net and able to keep the net humming is definitely, in
my opinion, a Network Issue requiring Coordination, under the current
circumstances. As such, I think this is at least a gray area. Besides,
NANOG is a community. NANOG BOFs cover things that may or may not be
within the NANOG charter, but which impact the NANOG community. As
such,
I think it's entirely appropriate to a BOF.
