NANOG Registration Fee Changes
by Dave Temkin 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Greetings, NANOGers- In February 2016, the Board began to review and discuss how best to achieve our stated financial and organizational objectives while ensuring NANOG meetings and associated agendas remain peer reviewed and free of any external financial dependence or influence. NANOG Strategic Goals are: - Maintain Educational 501(c)(3) Non-Profit status - Maintain Membership Policies and Procedures - Maintain tri-annual, peer-reviewed NANOG Conferences - Maintain community email list(s) and archive - Maintain public presentation archives - Adherence to NANOG Financial Controls and Reserve Policy - Ensure funding to provide educational outreach - Continue - Discounted student registration fee - Continue - College Immersion Program - Revised scholarship program (Combine Postel and Fellowship, convert to tuition based) - Revise and reintroduce education courses - Continue to drive increases in member value It is understood that NANOG conferences are, by far, the largest asset of this organization. It is the delivery mechanism for several of the NANOG strategic goals. At the same time, it is also the largest area of concern when planning how best to achieve those goals. The registration fee was last increased in February 2008, while expenses related to producing NANOG meetings have continued to rise with both inflation and breadth of programs and benefits offered. The current meeting registration fee does not cover the cost of producing a NANOG meeting without external funding associated with the NANOG sponsorship program. Thus, in order to maintain our peer reviewed program and funding independence, the following registration fees schedule will apply beginning with NANOG 69: Existing NANOG 69 & Forward - Early: $450 $550 - Standard: $525 $650 - Late: $600 $750 - On-site: $675 $950 The member discount of $25 for all registration fees will continue to apply. The Board is confident that these fees set us on the correct path to adhere to our reserve policy and ensure that the organization is protected in the event that we were faced with unforeseen circumstances. The Board met again after the initial announcement of these registration fee increases at NANOG 68 to review the valuable feedback provided. We decided that it was in the best interests of the organization to move forward with these fee increases immediately and to programatically consider our fees on an annual basis. For the NANOG Board of Directors, Dave Temkin Chair
