While it is NOT my intention to perpetuate a "all those in favour -
say aye" scenairo within NANOG, I would strongly submit from the
perspective of a business and management consultant, that NSF NOT
consider such an action.
As Paul suggests, there needs to exist a stabilizing agent. Not only
that, it is my understanding that NSI is in the midst of rethinking a
public offering position. Any activities from the NSF corner to conclude
their relationship with NSI at this juncture - could have reverberating
effects within the Internet community. Variables that can extend to the
community, a general course toward stabilization need to be encouraged.
This to include, carrying the present agreement with NSI to its full term.
All the very best,
