action items for funding/publishing agents


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
encourage researchers to attend industry meetings (nanog, ietf)
