Bill Norton is talking about the founding of nanog at the AfPIF right now
Webcast http://bit.ly/isoctv
I tune in, albeit 7-8 minutes later, and I'm apparently watching Peering 101.
Is the average age of the audience 5? 6?

In Internet years, yes - or less.

Peering 101 would seem appropriate given that AfPIF is the African
Peering and Interconnection Forum. It seems that a lot of the target
audience might be regulatory types who've never heard this message
before (peering *or* what grass-roots community-based groups can do
for you).
You were expecting maybe a presentation on TRILL or a DNSSEC tutorial?

TH: Nothing against the topic! Or the idea.
Improving the perception of peering in markets, that do not currently peer widely, is no negative thing in my mind. I just think the delivery was poor (counter-productive, even.)
I did feel sufficiently convinced that his tone was so overly condescending (despite the 'entry level' topic), as to make a flippant remark/dig about the presentation itself.
But I'm fairly sure no-one is too concerned as to what I think about it, so I'll just be quiet next time.
