action items for funding/publishing agents


set measurement standards for procurement of federal agency networking services (qos, security)
inter-agency measurement/qos agenda (start w cross-community workshop, might result in dedicated FTEs at each network..)
new LSN working group, perhaps eventually program, focused on measurement
willingness to invest $$$$ in measurement and databases
software, storage, communications for collaboration, data distribution
frustrating [perception] that it takes funding away from `real' research
encourage tech transfer from other disciplines who have done it 
willingness to bounce manuscripts that don't include raw data + scripts
willingness to publish `mundane' work on measurement management
emphasis on reproducible results
encourage research projects that involve provider/vendor cooperation
and discourages ones that don't
encourage researchers to participate in industry meetings and mailing lists (nanog, ietf) 

   good news: there has never been a better time for this 
overheard 'the recession is a stay of execution for the bgp routing system'
