Hopefully those of you who have traditional community attitudes will show your reaction via your pocketbooks.traditional community attitudes left the building long ago. nanog has become a trade show, for which this is normal behavior. i expect mail "stop by our booth at nanog 42," and so forth.
This is highly inaccurate. The PC and Board have done everything in our power to keep sponsorship out of the program. Yes, Beer & Gear looks like a NASCAR race, but that helps fund not only the program, but the numerous other outreach programs that NANOG has undertaken. Sponsors who have stepped on the rules have had their sponsorship rights revoked - temporarily, and in egregious cases, permanently. We (the NANOG organization) take this incredibly seriously. While it's hard to solve for the exact case above (scraping registrant lists and then comparing to CRM to glean contact info) we absolutely do aggressively pursue any abuse of NANOG's attendee information, trademarks, and mailing list. -Dave Temkin Chair, NANOG Board of Directors
