I think we need a NANOG more than a CERT.
I thought we had RIPE for that. What does NANOG do that you need and RIPE does not do? A mailing list with a high S/N ratio ?
Seriously: RIPE or the RIPE NCC should be doing what you need. Tell us.
I think the main issues facing us are DoS attacks, portscans and outages, so I think a mailing list dedicated to abnormal operational issues would be a good idea. It will require a concensus about the exact charter but that can probably be found. It would also be nice if we had a field in the database which made it possible to lookup the email+phone of the person to contact for cert/abuse issues by IP number. As it is now the database is less useful than simply mailing abuse@domain, root@domain and cert@domain. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD coreteam member | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
