Re: Top-50 Report

[Tony Bates <]

Actually - as of this week I mailed it automatically to 

nanog@localhost, eof-list@localhost, apops@localhost

However, for some reason I dont see the nanog message. not sure
why. This is partly a test to see if I see this one.

  * The above is an excellent idea. Perhaps if you could mail the output to
  * nanog and ripe-list the peer pressure would help and in some cases inform
  * LIRS/ISPs what they may unknowingly be doing wrong.
  * RIPE did this earlier inthe year for the European registries and it worked.

  * It would also be a good idea IMHO if the Global registries (APNIC RIPE INTE
  * RNIC)had email lists, alongthe lines of the ones RIPE runs, which it encour
  * aged 
  * new 'customers' to join. This may be the nearest we get to a global
  * isp email list.
