I'd just like to say thanks to the NOC. I encountered no difficulties of their making, and several things appeared to work better than before (tm) which is always good. I had the 1x as my pref from prior IETF and "it just worked". OSX appears to have gone to a place where stop-start on wifi across sleep/wake is a pain, but I cannot hold the noc responsible for that. Contrariwise, I arrived 2 DAYS before the kick off of 'real' IETF and I had IETF backed net almost immediately. Well done.
