<BR>
Lots of people on these lists talk on the lists, but rarely if ever goto the actual meetings and work on the process.<BR>
Participation is more than a keyboard. Its showing up and participating at the meetings.<BR>
<BR>
Personally I think ARIN could do more to get to rural areas and have 1 day work shops, ala RIPE and others.<BR>
<BR>
But that doesn’t excuse people from showing up at the meetings and having their voice heard.<BR>
<BR>
If 100 little ISP’s showed up at the October meeting and was unified on their cause / statement, I suspect it would be HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR.<BR>

Stay on topic...your rhetoric doesn't further the discussion.<BR>
