Oh your correct on all of your points. My point was your not allowed to foward info from the list internally without permission of the author.

  While IMNSHO this probably should be answered by the moderators
The way I understand it is that the trust is personal but the membership
is institutional.

  Or to be bit more specific to _apply_ for(and retain) membership you need
to have senior operational networking and/or security responsibilty in an
appropriate "large" infrastucture Service Provider
(ISP/NSP/CDN/DNS/<etc...>)

  To be accepted to the list you need to be trusted on a personal level
(the vetting process is mainly to establish this but IIRC can also fault
the institutional affilation as non-appropriate)

  Another example is if you change employers - say you joined as head of
security at Akamai and then moved on to an appropriate position at Google
- You should unsubscribe and then re-apply from your new position
  Assuming your new position qualifies for membership an that you were an
active contributing member of nsp-sec you should have no trouble passing
the personal trust vetting as well
(At least IIRC thats the way it's supposed to work ;-)

  In any case <http://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/nsp-security> is
probably the correct place to look for that info and the above rambling by
me is my _personal_ interpretation of it in the context of your remark
