The current survey is always available at the following page: http://www.nanog.org/survey As a first step you can take the initial survey now, any time through the end of the morning break on Monday, June 14. This survey asks for comments on Sunday's sessions and your overall experience so far. We're glad to provide some extra incentives to complete the surveys.

To participate, complete the survey using the link above by 11:20 a.m. on Monday and Tuesday and by 10:50 a.m. on Wednesday. When you have completed a survey (administered at SurveyMonkey.com) you will be directed to a NANOG page where you can, if you choose, enter your name and organization to be eligible for a prize drawing. Your survey submission is not connected to the process by which your name is collected for the drawing, and your submission will remain anonymous. Prize winners each day will be randomly selected from the list of people who have submitted their names upon completing the current survey.
