My thinking was that on the rare occasion when we can anticipate *possible* and *serious* floods and bottle-necks at ISP tech-support lines, across multiple providers and regions, we should share that information. NANOG remains the best place for such information sharing.

I agree.

While I realize this mailing list is mostly about network operations and less about ISP operations, we had a discussion in the past where we have seen some in our community do use this information effectively and find it useful.

ISP operations are network operations.  Fast spreading worms with
remediation through DNS configuration that may affect tech-support costs
are obviously network related.
