On behalf of the NANOG Program Committee and Merit I'm pleased to
announce that an updated Agenda is available and posted at:
http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/agenda.php
We're excited about the quality of the agenda and we hope you are,
too. I want to thank all of the members of the Program Committee who
worked hard to recruit, review and select the presentations and
tutorials that make up this program. I also want to thank everyone
who submitted a proposal. The quality and variety seemed very high
this time around.
Please note that there remain a very small number of slots open for
late-breaking or especially topical presentations, so if the Internet
melts down completely between now and January, feel free to submit a
presentation explaining what happened.
Lighting Talk slots will officially open after the first of the year.
If you have not already registered for the conference and reserved
your hotel room, now is a great time to do that. See
http://nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/
and in particular
https://nanog.merit.edu/registration/
to get started. Remember that Hotel expenses are fantastically low
this time, with rooms as cheap as $104 and cheap flights are still
available to the SDQ airport. The overall cost of this NANOG should
be the same or lower as previous ones. I mention this because I know
that many travel budgets are tight and I hope that this information
might be useful to your management.
I look forward to seeing all of you in Santo Domingo.

Hi Everyone:>
On behalf of Merit, we look forward to our continued working relationship with the NANOG SC and PC who are working hard to bring a great program to NANOG45. Our Host, Terremark, continues to work hard to provide all of the additional support items to make everyone comfortable in Santo Domingo. A meeting that is sure to be unique, and one you will not want to miss!
The Program Committee has been working very hard, a draft of the complete agenda is expected very early next week. A highlight of the agenda topics can be found at:

Lastly, take advantage of the early registration fee, do consider getting your registration completed via:

Of additional importance are our NANOG Sponsors. We appreciate the current economic impact on budgets. However, NANOG continues to be the premier event for national and international network operators, engineers, content providers, and of course the peering community; an event which provides sponsors low cost direct access to customers. Send your inquiry to nanong-support(a)nanog.org. We will work hard to design a NANOG45 package that works for your company and NANOG.
Look forward to seeing many of you in late January 2009!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Merit directly via nanog-support(a)nanog.org or any of the NANOG committees.
All best.
