Brad,

Since you convinced me to finally get on this mailing list, I've
received this more recently than you.  ;-)  Admittedly, not a completely
definitive description.

Perhaps more to the point, the initial poster is more likely to get a
helpful response from the dc-sage jobs mailing list, or the sg-dc
(security group) mailing list.

=======================================================================
Charter 
-------
The NANOG mailing list is established to provide a forum for the exchange
of technical information and the discussion of specific
implementation issues that require cooperation among network service
providers. In order to continue to provide a useful forum
for discussion of relevant technical issues, the list will now be governed
by the following guidelines: 

Acceptable Use Policy
---------------------
        1. Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical issues
	   as described in the charter of NANOG. 
        2. Postings of issues inconsistent with the charter are prohibited. 
        3. Postings to multiple mailing lists are discouraged. 
        4. Postings that include foul language, character assassination, and
	   lack of respect for other participants are prohibited. 
        5. Blatant product marketing is unacceptable. 
        6. Postings of political, philosophical, and legal nature are
	   discouraged.

Individuals who violate these guidelines will be contacted personally and
asked to adhere to the guidelines. If an individual persists
in violating the guidelines, the convenor of NANOG, Merit Network, Inc.,
will take action to filter the offender's messages to the
list. 

If groups of individuals persist in introducing topics that are outside the
charter of NANOG, the convenor will send a request to
the entire mailing list requesting adherence to the guidelines. If the
discussion continues unabated, the convenor will take action to
filter all postings on the topic.
