So, NANOG has worked in the past (eg: ARIN) at joint meetings at a venue before, perhaps something similar would work. I find it interesting that NANOG and IETF are both in Dallas about a month from each other and both parties likely navigated the logistics issues of connectivity, etc.. for these hotels for a slightly overlapping audience. Do people think something like the NANOG-ARIN would work for NANOG-IETF? That might allow cross-breeding/ROI/whatnot and value to both communities. - jared On Tue, Feb 14, 2006 at 01:17:46PM -0800, Tony Hain wrote: > > I agree that attendance is not required, but it can help some discussions. > > Given the logistical differences it would be much easier to schedule NANOG > into a nearby hotel than to try to move the IETF around.
