Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Keeping the quality people on the net on the net and able to keep the net humming is definitely, in my opinion, a Network Issue requiring Coordination, under the current circumstances. As such, I think this is at least a gray area. Besides, NANOG is a community. NANOG BOFs cover things that may or may not be within the NANOG charter, but which impact the NANOG community. As such, I think it's entirely appropriate to a BOF.
