Folks,
Please take a look at the NANOG 51 Call For Presentations (
http://nanog.org/meetings/nanog51/callforpresent.php)
he North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) will hold its 51st
meeting in Miami on January 30 to February 2, 2011.
NANOG51<http://nanog.org/meetings/nanog51/index.php>will
be hosted by Terremark <http://www.terremark.com/>. The NANOG Program
Committee is now seeking proposals for presentations, panels, tutorials,
tracks sessions, and keynote materials for the NANOG51 program. We invite
presentations highlighting issues relating to technology already deployed or
soon-to-be deployed in the Internet. Vendors are encouraged to work with
operators to present real-world deployment experiences with the vendor's
products and interoperability. NANOG51 submissions are welcome at
http://pc.nanog.org. Acceptance notifications for NANOG51 will be sent by
the Program Committee starting December 9, 2010, and will continue through
January 13, 2011.
Time to start thinking about the talk(s) you want to give in Miami!
Thanks,
Dave
As usual for our October meetings, there has been a lot happening,
with more to come over the next few days.
Our annual election was held during NANOG 50, with these results:
- Patrick Gilmore, Robert Seastrom, and Richard Steenbergen
were elected to two-year terms on the NANOG SC (and also
therefore to the NewNOG Board.)
- The charter amendment to transition NANOG activities from Merit
to NewNOG passed with 210 votes in favor, 16 votes against.
- In the NewNOG election, the measure to adopt the Bylaws passed
with 169 votes in favor, 26 against.
I have been elected by the SC to serve again as Chair for the coming
year, and Sylvie LaPerriere was elected as Vice-Chair.
The Program Committee selection process is underway, and the results
will be announced in the next day so.
Nominations are still open for Communications Committee positions.
I would like to encourage any of you who regularly participate in
the mailing list and are interested in maintaining list quality
and in building new forms of communication for the community to
consider volunteering. Please see:
http://www.nanog.org/governance/elections/2010elections/
for further information on the selection process.
For the Steering Committee,
Steve Feldman, chair
