Funny, I though it was the North American Network Operators' Group. > Doesn't that imply that it collectively belongs to those of use that > consider ourselves operators? Not in this country, bucko. It's a mailing list. Get over yourself. Usually this list is so interesting, and filled with content, that I overlook the occasional silliness ("network for sale" comes to mind) in favor of the rich educational experience that NANOG offers. I can't believe that you are STILL whining over the fact that you didn't get the latest coffee cup or tshirt (hey, I'd like a Juniper router as a giveaway, if there are any left). > 2) What gives Merit the right to make decisions about the group without > consulting the membership? > > (Hint: It's not in the charter, or anywhere else I could find) Oh, and there is no membership.

Ruling body, indeed. > I don't want to play politics, but I think something needs to be done.

You've actually made the list. You join ONE other person from NANOG. *plonk* -- Membership? I never join anything. Subscribe, sure, join, never.
