With all due respect, Alex and the rest of the MLC, I believe AUP #6 (aka, the Ostrich Clause) should be amended. Operational folks must be involved in the nontechnical processes that impact their daily jobs, or one day you will find that operations will be impossible due to bone-headed regulations that might have been stopped had knowledgeable operational people spoken up soon enough. And while I realize this belongs more on nanog-futures, this thought should at least see the light of day on the main nanog list first. So I guess I'll subscribe to nanog-futures so that I can participate in what may become a lively discussion over there on the Ostrich Clause. I encourage everyone else who might be interested in joining this discussion to do so as well. I do not intend to post further on this subject on this list; no warning necessary. -- Lamar Owen Chief Information Officer Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
