Y'know, nothing ends a day better than being told that I've been 
toiling for years in vain.  Ah, the good life.

Let me try again to do something real, but this time with a little 
more context.  A couple of weeks ago, I asked the NANOG mailing list 
for feedback on what ISPs (of every stripe) consider to be useful 
information feeds.

The REASON I was asking is because we're about to get the ISP-ISAC
started (hopefully before the year is out) and I was wondering what 
information would be useful enough for the us to collect, analyze, 
and provide to members that ISPs would consider it (the ISP-ISAC
that is) valuable.

So, instead of a bunch of hot air about the ISP-ISAC not doing 
anything when we haven't even started yet, howzabout ya'll give me 
some good solid feedback to this request?  Because I only got 3 
(serious) emails and a phone call last time I asked.  (All with 
good suggestions, btw, but I'm hoping for more).

What information feeds are the most useful to your NOC?  To your
Analysts?  To your Engineers?  To your Customers?

Do you want them to see outage reports on the MAEs?
Fiber cut reports from certain telcos/fiber providers?
  (If so, which ones?)
Maintenance reports on NAPs?
Maintenance plans from peers?
Ticket-based updates from your upstreams/transit providers/peers
  regarding outages?
Changes to registrar databases?
Maintenance announcements on the root servers?
Outages or degradation in availability for popular web sites?

All of the above?  
None of the above?  
Many other subjects?  (If so, which ones?)

Thanks,
Kelly J.
