I agree that it's a more appropriate list. Yet I do wonder if the
discussion (at least in part), and particularly the original thread
before the various sub-threads on SC and blacklisting started is not
appropriate for nanog.
In particular, I feel issues with proxies, trojans, etc and how they are
dealt with between networks, and their foreseeable threat to the
infrastructure itself is relevant to the following the the charter:
"# Discuss specific implementation issues which require cooperation and
coordination among network service providers to ensure the stability of
overall service to the network users.
# Serve as a focal point for other common activities of the participants.
# Promote and coordinate interconnection of networks within North
America and to other continents."
