Both IETF and NANOG make a certain amount of sense.

The advantage of IETF is that there is a fair amount of ATM expertise
present which doesn't have to make a special trip for the workshop.
(The next IETF is also driving distance from the router vendor 
apparently preferred by most of the NSPs.)

Whatever the schedule for another ATM NAP workshop, there are still 
a number of NAP issues which the NAP awardees, and perhaps the RA and
NSPs, ought to discuss.  Someone might want to coordinate a
NAP meeting at NANOG.
