Okay, so I am a little nuts. I've sent a domain template to the NIC for IPSPA.ORG.... It just seemed like the right thing to do :-) 1) Next week, I'll register IPSPA as a non-profit corp in some nice state; 2) Maybe we will get lucky and have some members; 3) We will build low cost NAPs for IPSPA.ORG members; 4) We will aggressively solicit corporate and government funding for projects; 5) We will drink beer and eat pizza at our meetings; 6) We will throw together an IPSPA.ORG home page; 7) We can watch all the big IP players laugh as we grow and take a lot of abuse as a new organization; 8) We might even draft an IPSPA post NSF AUP for fun and address topics like child pornography, spam, and other impossible topics; 9) We will hire Washington lawyers to advocate our position on every front in the beltway and use PGP as a rule; 10) Maybe we will form a non-profit common carrier while we are at it and substantially reduce all IPSPA.ORG members transit costs; 11) We will have our meetings only in the best climates depending on the season; 12) We will think of ways as a 'new frontier' network based organization to generate income ( and beg money from members ); 14) We will create a board of directors that are not enjoy well defined conflicts of interests (maybe); 15) We will apply to the FCC for our on set of frequencies to develop lost cost wireless access at T1 speeds and above. Between laughing and while we are waiting on the new domain and I get motivated and fix Majordomo..... IPSPA-request () ipspa silkroad com soon to be: IPSPA-request () IPSPA ORG Why not? Other ideas and organizations have happened. Stranger things have happened..... and with enough support... who knows?
