Vixie, Conrad, Manning, Woodcock, Curran, Plzak, Ed Lewis, etc all
worked together at ARIN, and have had 22 ARIN employees attend NANOG,
including the ARIN executive secretary. ARIN is giving NANOG $50,000
checks, even though the Board members have undisclosed conflicts of
interest.  ARIN resource analysts have (and probably are now)  
attending NANOG. The resource analysts are the guys who make
allocation decisions, so getting chummy with NANOG people is a
conflict of interest in the making. So far, I've discovered two cases
where ARIN has made allocations in 2 hours.


    Didn't you get banned temporarily from this list, then banned
for life + 5 years, your children and grandchildren also banned for
their lives + 5 years once before for all this?

I was never temporarilly banned. I was banned in 2000 so that I couldn't
gloat that the CFAA applied to ISPs. See
http://www.iadl.org/nanog/nanog-story.html

Looks like someone messed up. ;-)

        Well, yes and no...........

        I actually was thinking of the ARIN list that you had the temporary
ban on :

        and then the permanent ban :

        as for banning from NANOG, there is a message, purportedly from
you :

http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-discuss/2008-February/000890.html

contains "So Harris banned me from NANOG." . Not sure if thats the meeting,
the NANOG list, or one of the NANOG/Merit other lists. Also, in :

http://www.iadl.org/nanog/nanog-story.html

        I see "So, effective May 4 2005, Harris again banned Anderson. Although 
the new "reformed" rules require a limit of 6 months, Anderson remains banned 
as of April 16th, 2006. It seems permanent."

        but I think that refers to another NANOG group, dnsop.
