2009 NANOG charter amendments
by Steve Feldman 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

The NANOG charter is the document which governs the operation of NANOG, and the relationship between the community and NANOG's hosting organization, Merit Network. The current text is at http://www.nanog.org/governance/charter/ . During the NANOG annual election, voters are given the opportunity to decide on amendments to the NANOG charter. Typically, the amendment process has been used to remedy oversights, modify processes with the benefit of experience, and to correct and tighten language. This year, the election is being held during the NANOG meeting October 18-21 in Dearborn, MI. There are two ways to put an amendment on the ballot: - Vote by a majority of the Steering Committee - A petition signed by at least 30 eligible voters, and submitted by September 28, 2009. See http://www.nanog.org/governance/elections/2009elections/2009charteramend.php for more details on the process. As amendments are proposed, they will be added to that page. If you have any suggestions for amendments, or would like to comment on NANOG governance in general, please join the discussion on the nanog-futures list, or contact the Steering Committee or any of its members directly. Steve Feldman (for the Steering Committee)
