From NM's whois, he's based in Ottawa, Canada (there's an exact address in fact). Someone who lives nearby can check in with Prakash or Miles and then do some knocking or doorbelling.

I've met him (in Ottawa). He hasn't responded to emails since early July. That address is a multi-unit building.
I don't see that it's really appropriate for me to go knock on his door though. There is a thing called privacy and he does have family.
Thanks for that info, Owen.
Would you set a deadline on it though, say 5 months if nothing happens, more, or never?
I'll email him again, but I don't see much more than that being in any way appropriate. If I had been to his house, maybe, but I haven't.
I don't think it'd be rude to go knocking on his door (if you know it). It's just that it's a major anomaly to cease communications in such a way, isn't it?
NM and HN may be a low priority for him, and that's fair enough, and he can't be doing both forever, so you're not going to be saying "where have you been?" or "what's going on?" it's more like "is everything okay?"
A few people have been left high and dry, and if it wasn't for them, you'd probably back off completely.
I might have a phone number (have to check my emails). I would feel comfortable calling him.
