New Year NANOG 45 Reminders
by Joe Provo 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Happy New Year, NANOGers! I hope you all had a good [operationally quiet] end to 2008, and look forward to 2009 along with this January's meeting in the Dominican Republic. Registered NANOG45 attendees will get further updates sent to the <nanog-attendee(a)nanog.org>, so please do subscribe to it if you had opted out at the time of registration, either by mailing <Nanog-attendee-request(a)nanog.org> or dropping http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-attendee into your web browser. We have been working through our generous host Terremark with the Dominican Republic's government to make entry a smooth process. The NANOG Program Committee has once again provided an excellent agenda (http://nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/agenda.php) for the conference. Our sponsors (http://nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/sponsors.php) have also received assistance with customs issues, and are ready to meet and talk with you, our clued attendees. Should you need a formal Letter of Invitation, please contact Merit staff at <nanog-support(a)nanog.org>. Information regarding entrance and exit requirements (with links to official DR sites) are available on the meeting website (see http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/entry.php) For those still sorting out their travel, be aware that the registration fee will increase on January 16 (see https://nanog.merit.edu/registration/) Flight costs are about the same as domestic travel within the US, and the hotel rates are less than many of our other locations, but the NANOG group rate ends January 9 (see http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/hotel.php) so if you haven't booked yet, time is of the essence. Merit staff and members of the Steering, Program and Mailing List Committees are all working hard to support the NANOG community. As always, we encourage you to send any questions or concerns via email, or by voice at Merit 1.734.527.5700. Looking forward to seeing you there!

NANOG 45 Agenda Posted
by Todd Underwood 12 Dec '08

12 Dec '08

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.

by Betty Burke 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

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: http://nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/agenda.php The attendee list can be found at: https://nanog.merit.edu/registration/attendee.list.epl?MEETING_ID=45 Lastly, take advantage of the early registration fee, do consider getting your registration completed via: https://nanog.merit.edu/registration/ 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. Betty Merit Network Inc. (734)527-5763

by Todd Underwood 22 Nov '08

22 Nov '08

NANOG 45 is fast approaching. Today we have a preliminary agenda to announce that should assist people who need supplementary material for travel justifications. There are a number of presentation slots still available. The Program Committee will continue to accept presentations next week (if you plan to submit something, today was the deadline, but we will try to review presentations that arrive over the weekend or on Monday. Please contact me if you have a talk in progress and need information on how to submit it, but in general: http://www.nanogpc.org/ Please note that conference registration is open and the early bird discount expires in under two weeks: https://nanog.merit.edu/registration/ Hotel registration is open as well, although to get the discount rate you may have to call the hotel. They are working on the automated registration issue and should have it resolved soon. Be aware: the hotel is outrageously cheap for very nice rooms (part of what should make your travel justification easier), so be sure to register soon. Also, consider booking travel soon. A number of airlines have substantially discounted flights at the moment, but one never knows when they might expire. The following talks were submitted early and have already been accepted by the Program Committee: Tutorials: ===================================================================== Introduction to LISP Dave Meyer, Cisco Dino Farinacci, Cisco Small Network Operator - Lessons Learned Pete Templin, Nextlink BGP 102: Scaling the Network Avi Freedman, Akamai DNSSEC at Comcast Srini Avirneni, Comcast Cable Accurate and Advanced Traceroute for Troubleshooting Richard Steenbergen Peering 101 William Norton and Kevin Oberman Plenary Presentations: ===================================================================== Tutorial on using the Malware Hash Registry Stephen Gill, Team Cymru Practical Reverse Traceroute Ethan Katz-Bassett, University of Washington DNSSEC at Comcast Srini Avirneni, Comcast Cable BFD - Is it worth it and does it work in production networks?

New NANOG Program Committee
by Joe Provo 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

In its last scheduled meeting, the NANOG Steering Committee selected a new Programme Committee. With seventeen very well-qualified candidates and eight open positions, it was a difficult decision to make. The SC, with input from the current PC and the community, felt it necessary to form a balanced PC, with a diversity of backgrounds, knowledge, and experience, and one that is representative of the entire NANOG constituency. The SC would like to thank outgoing the PC member Keith Mitchell for his valuable contributions while serving on the PC. Additionally, the SC is grateful to the eight candidates who volunteered their time but who weren't selected. We hope they will all consider volunteering again next time. The NANOG Programme Committee for 2008/2009 is as follows: Existing members: Larry Blunk (Merit appointee) Joel Jaeggli Rodney Joffe Sylvie LaPerriere Kevin Oberman Lane Patterson Ren Provo Josh Snowhorn Todd Underwood New (and returning) members: Nina Bargisen Tom Daly Brian Deardorff Igor Gashinsky Mike Hughes David Meyer Tom Scholl Richard Steenbergen Joe Provo SC Chair -- RSUC / GweepNet / Spunk / FnB / Usenix / SAGE

New NANOG Steering Committee
by Joe Provo 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

The new NANOG SC held its first meeting on Tuesday evening of NANOG44. One of the first action items for the SC (as per 6.1 in the Charter) is to appoint a new chair to serve for a one year term. After holding a vote, I would like to report that I have been accorded the privilege of being chair of the NANOG SC for the next year. As incoming chair, and on behalf of the new SC, I'd like to thank Philip Smith for his exceptional leadership in the last year as outgoing SC Chair, as well as thank him for his service to the community as member of the SC for many years. I would also like to extend the SC's significant thanks to Randy Bush for his long history of valuable contribution to NANOG and the SC during his term of service on the SC. Both he and Philip have put in enormous time and energy to help NANOG be what it is today. They leave large shoes to fill. The new Steering Committee is as follows: Betty Burke (Merit Appointee) Steve Feldman Patrick Gilmore Jared Mauch Chris Morrow Joe Provo Rob Seastrom with the MLC Chair (Kris Foster) and the PC Chair (TBA) serving as non-voting members. Joe Provo (for the SC) -- RSUC / GweepNet / Spunk / FnB / Usenix / SAGE
