JH> The geographic regions defined by ARIN and NANOG are similar.

American Registry Internet... North American Network Ops... genius!


JH> As an ARIN member, I feel that ARIN staff should indeed be very
JH> involved with NANOG.  For them not to be would be dereliction of
JH> their duty.

Indeed.  As an ARIN member, I'd be displeased if ARIN were to dish out
ivory-tower policies without even attempting to understand the
operational issues and impact.

IMHE (E = experience), dealing with ARIN is easier and more logical now
than at the turn of the century.  I still disagree with a few things,
but we'll save that for another discussion.

Perhaps the NANOG-ARIN interaction (influx of NANOG regulars, joint
meetings, et cetera) has made ARIN more aware/sensitive of, and
responsive to operational concerns.


JH> So far, on the list of entities Dean Anderson doesn't like:
JH> * Paul Vixie (and/or MAPS)
JH> * NANOG
JH> * VON
JH>
JH> Any others?

In the name of trying to keep things on-topic, let's not start
enumerating personal vendettas.  I'm sure a Google search or three will
give good insight; those interested can "figure it out" themselves.

Perhaps Dean would like to run for an ARIN BoT or AC position.  Such an
election might indicate a manifest for his proposals, and would also
give him more direct influence.
