NTAC Peering Working Group

[David Pokorney <>]

Head's up, on a conference call this morning I asked Shel Waggener to ask 
both NTAC and AOAC to formally propose how the various Net+ services may be 
delivered to a connector.  It is clear that there is no single method that 
all RONs want to see the Net+ routes.  

thanks,  -dave
