Elise,

If I'm wrong on this, I'm hoping to be gently corrected and not
severely flamed as I might be on com-priv.

Isn't connecting to ANS and paying the ANS CO+RE fee an option?  Or
connecting through a provider that has paid the ANS CO+RE fee?  I
thought that fund was set up so commercial providers could connect to
NSF and contribute to the cost so that NSF only directly funds RE.

I thought that was the current status although some people violently
disagree with NSF's decision to make that option available.
