Tomatoes for Verisign at NANOG 29

Thu Oct 16 18:36:49 UTC 2003

Just a brief statement that kinda goes without saying but I'll say it
anyway.

Although I'm not going to be there personally, I do intend to watch
the netcast.

I would just ask (and I'm sure merit folks share this) that despite
the actions that have been taken by verisign and the conflicts etc,
that people please be curteous and not just outright harrass their
representatives but allow them to make their presentation as they
intend. (The last thing we need to do is lend credence to the
statements that have been made in the press regarding this community.)
