Re: Membership in REN-ISAC?

[Vik Solem <vik.solem () TUFTS EDU>]

My apologies.  After checking with affected people, I'm told that the
current method for REN-ISAC membership is substantially different than
the previous method under which folks I knew were refused.  I should
probably have mentioned before that I've been a member for close to a
year, and I've found the REN-ISAC data to be substantially different
from the EDUCAUSE data.  I think the limitation on sharing the data
encourages different kinds of submissions.
