I guess this is implied, but the end of Daily Reports will also mean the 
end of ASN Alerts since one depends on the other?

The TC Console signup page doesn't mention anything about this.  What sort 
of "community contribution" is necessary for access to be granted to 
organizations who are not represented on NSP-SEC?

I've long thought it was a shame that the Daily Report / ASN Alert data 
was only available to NSP-SEC list members, and it's not clear if the move 
to TC Console is more or less restricted in who will have access.

I plan to leave Atlantic.net at the end of this month.  When I'm no longer 
employed by Atlantic.net they won't have anyone on NSP-SEC, so they were 
probably about to lose access to the reports anyway unless I kept 
receiving them and forwarded the information to whoever ends up being the 
appropriate contact.

Not to threadjack, but there's also the question of my list membership. 
Assuming my next job keeps me eligible for NSP-SEC, is there any need to 
unsubscribe on the 27th just to re-subscribe on the 28th?
