NANOG-futures

[Randy Whitney]

Possible issue is that having an "official" badge could mean that
those who pay full price for the conference but never actually
make it into the sessions but are otherwise [OK|GURU|LORD|L3GND]
may argue that they also deserve special treatment. Not sure for
such a short conference as NANOG that day tix would be a good 
idea either. 

Agree that there should be some sort of policy on record, but 
Vixie being a well-known and highly visible L3GND seems to be 
serving as a punching bag for everyone else who chose to lurk 
outside the doors and not pay the NANOG conference fee (I can 
name at least half a dozen that I saw in the halls whom weren't 
officially registered for NANOG). I support any reasonable policy
as long as it doesn't involve a "surcharge" on the conference fee
to cover the "freeloaders".
