New NANOG Program Committee
by Joe Provo 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

In its last scheduled meeting, the NANOG Steering Committee selected a new Programme Committee. With seventeen very well-qualified candidates and eight open positions, it was a difficult decision to make. The SC, with input from the current PC and the community, felt it necessary to form a balanced PC, with a diversity of backgrounds, knowledge, and experience, and one that is representative of the entire NANOG constituency. The SC would like to thank outgoing the PC member Keith Mitchell for his valuable contributions while serving on the PC. Additionally, the SC is grateful to the eight candidates who volunteered their time but who weren't selected. We hope they will all consider volunteering again next time. The NANOG Programme Committee for 2008/2009 is as follows: Existing members: Larry Blunk (Merit appointee) Joel Jaeggli Rodney Joffe Sylvie LaPerriere Kevin Oberman Lane Patterson Ren Provo Josh Snowhorn Todd Underwood New (and returning) members: Nina Bargisen Tom Daly Brian Deardorff Igor Gashinsky Mike Hughes David Meyer Tom Scholl Richard Steenbergen Joe Provo SC Chair -- RSUC / GweepNet / Spunk / FnB / Usenix / SAGE

New NANOG Steering Committee
by Joe Provo 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

The new NANOG SC held its first meeting on Tuesday evening of NANOG44. One of the first action items for the SC (as per 6.1 in the Charter) is to appoint a new chair to serve for a one year term. After holding a vote, I would like to report that I have been accorded the privilege of being chair of the NANOG SC for the next year. As incoming chair, and on behalf of the new SC, I'd like to thank Philip Smith for his exceptional leadership in the last year as outgoing SC Chair, as well as thank him for his service to the community as member of the SC for many years. I would also like to extend the SC's significant thanks to Randy Bush for his long history of valuable contribution to NANOG and the SC during his term of service on the SC. Both he and Philip have put in enormous time and energy to help NANOG be what it is today. They leave large shoes to fill. The new Steering Committee is as follows: Betty Burke (Merit Appointee) Steve Feldman Patrick Gilmore Jared Mauch Chris Morrow Joe Provo Rob Seastrom with the MLC Chair (Kris Foster) and the PC Chair (TBA) serving as non-voting members. Joe Provo (for the SC) -- RSUC / GweepNet / Spunk / FnB / Usenix / SAGE
