Announcing a Monday to Wednesday NANOG Program Starting at NANOG 57 (Feb 2013)
by Sylvie LaPerriere 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Colleagues, At our NANOG 55 Community meeting Dave Temkin presented the PC proposal to move our Conference Program to a Monday-to-Wednesday format. Originating from the community, this proposal was developed and refined in the last year using the conference surveys. We surveyed you one last time at NANOG 55. The majority spoke in favour and the Board approved this change on June 22. I am pleased to announce that starting in February 2013, at NANOG 57 Orlando, the NANOG Conference program will : - start Monday morning with Tutorials; - have the Keynote kick off the Plenary after Monday's lunch; - add a standing Policy Track programmed by ARIN; - move the Peering Track to Wednesday afternoon. The net result will provide a Conference Program with 10% more content: +15 min of General Session and +90 min of Unique Track. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Nate Davis and John Curran (ARIN partners), Betty Burke (Executive Director), Dave Temkin (PC Chair), Greg Dendy (PC VIce-Chair) and each and every PC member (Nina, Jim, Tom, Ryan, Kevin, Igor, Greg H, Manish, Mohit, David, Dani, Tom, Michael, Tony) for the careful thought and consideration they afforded this proposal over the past 9 months. Have a great Summer and see you all next October for NANOG 56 in Dallas. Regards, Sylvie -- Sylvie LaPerriere NANOG Chair - www.nanog.org

Board Member Replacement Process - close June 20 23:59 PDT
by Sylvie LaPerriere 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

*Colleagues, If you are interested in the board replacement position please read on, if not, you may stop now. Following our announcement, many of you are pinging me to serve as the replacement on the Board. Your interest in our organization is amazing and truly encouraging! The process for Board replacement is laid out in our bylaws in Section 8.7. and the intent is to keep a functioning Board running until the next elections. Per our presentation at the NANOG 55 Community meeting we have a full list of deliverables until then. So basically the replacement position is 5-8 hours/week of volunteering inclusive of regular board meetings. 8.7 Vacancies If a Board of Directors member resigns or a Board of Directors seat otherwise becomes vacant more than two months before the next election, the remaining members of the Board of Directors will appoint a replacement to serve until the next election, at which point if there is any additional time remaining in the term a member will be elected to fill the vacancy. If a vacancy occurs less than two months before an election, the seat will remain vacant until the election As we are more than 2 months away from our next elections, the Board has to appoint a replacement (a member in good standing) for the interim. The replacement will serve on the Board until the next election only. Continuance on the Board will be dependent on being properly elected next October, per our election process described in Section 8. Board of Directors. Who are we looking for? * *The short answer is ‘a good election candidate (per the below)’ plus ‘a high degree of familiarity with NANOG’. A good candidate will have experience with Internet engineering, operations, and governance organizations as well as the principles and practices which guide them. A strong candidate should have experience with NANOG through meeting attendance, meeting presentations, serving on a committee, and have been an active member of the NANOG mailing list for a minimum of 3 years. Consensus organizing, leadership, outreach and communication skills are prized, and a willingness to be engaged in the governance process is required. A board member (committee liaisons) is expected to volunteer 5 hours per week while a board officer (Chair, vice-chair, treasurer, secretary) is expected to volunteer 5-8 hours per week, all year round. How do you apply? We are reaching out to members and if you want to be a candidate for this replacement with a term of about 3 months, please write to board(a)newnog.orgbefore June 20 23:59 PDT and state your name, your affiliation and describe your readiness, your ability (check with your employer if you can afford the time!) and motivation to serve for this interim. You will have to demonstrate familiarity with our activities and be available to attend our bi-weekly Board meetings held Fridays from 14:00-15:00 EDT from June 22 to September 28. (sorry, we cannot move the time to suit your schedule - you are jumping on a cruising ship.) How is the selection made? The Board will review the candidacies and appoint. Decision will be final and announced on June 22 to nanog-announce(a)nanog.org. There is more than the replacement position. Bear in mind that the election process will be initiated in early August when we will have 3 vacant board positions to fill. Check http://www.nanog.org/governance/elections/ late July and we will communicate the elections process via nanog-announce(a)nanog.org. We trust this answers your questions about the replacement and thank you for your consideration and interest for NANOG. Sylvie* -- Sylvie LaPerriere NANOG Chair - www.nanog.org

Board Announcement to the NANOG Community
by Sylvie LaPerriere 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Colleagues: The NANOG Board of Directors has accepted the resignation of Richard Steenbergen on June 11, 2012. Richard wrote that '*recent personal and career changes have made it impossible to devote as much time and attention to NANOG** as is needed. Therefore, I must officially tender my resignation. It has been a privilege to work with you all, and I hope I have the opportunity to do so again in the future*.” Richard has served four years on the NANOG Program Committee and nearly two years on the NANOG Board during these important transition years. We are saddened to loose Richard and wish him every success in his new activities. On behalf of the Board I want to express to Richard our sincere thanks for his contribution to NANOG. Per our bylaws 8.7, the Board will be interviewing candidates and will soon appoint a replacement to serve until the next election. Sincerely, Sylvie -- Sylvie LaPerriere NANOG Chair - www.nanog.org
