Having worked at tiny organizations for the majority of the time I served on the ARIN AC as well as NANOG committees and board, this argument rings hollow. At the end of the day, it's a matter of priorities. Prudence would dictate that one participate in governance and standards bodies if they are doing stuff that directly affects one's business. Prudence also dictates that one follow BCPs regarding putting nameservers for one's zone on topologically distinct networks. merlot:~ rs$ dig eclipse-networks.com. ns | grep -w A ns1.eclipseinternet.com. 172800 IN A 198.199.199.191 ns2.eclipseinternet.com. 172800 IN A 198.199.199.192 merlot:~ rs$ In both cases, people sometimes prioritize differently, and they often get away with it. There may even be valid business reasons for doing so (cost outweighs benefit for instance). But if you choose to not participate, you've still made a choice. -r _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
