Re: NRIC Monitoring ISPs

[Robert Cannon <rmcannon () mail com>]

I think Sean is correct.  Ira Ritcher was on NRIC IV and I understand from
Ira the original proposal to include ISP monitoring came from Ira.  Ira was
not actually representing IOPS before NRIC IV and neither Ira nor IOPS are
members of the current NRIC, NRIC V.  Nothing on the IOPS webpage reflects
any news in this regard.

More to come.

I've only been to one NRIC meeting.  What a snore.  Not even any good
hallway/bar conversations.

The problem with the Internet is it either has too many industry groups
or not enough.  CIX, ITAA, ISP/C, TISPA, ISOC, IETF, ICANN, IOPS, ASPF,
etc.  And AOL is a industry representative of one.  The reality is NRIC
or the FCC has no idea who to contact about Internet issues.  I suspect,
but don't know, NRIC sent a letter to IOPS and considers that the industry.
