Hi everyone, There are going to be a few announcements over the next few days regarding all things NANOG, so please bear with us! Thanks to all who volunteered for the Steering Committee - the list of candidates to join the three continuing Steering Committee members is at http://www.nanog.org/governance/elections/2008elections/2008sc_candidates.p…. We will be holding elections during NANOG 44 in LA to determine who will join the Steering Committee. Now to the Program Committee! Here is your chance to help shape the future of the NANOG program content. NANOG Program Committee The NANOG Program Committee is a group of sixteen individuals from the NANOG community who together are responsible for the solicitation and selection of material for NANOG meeting Programs. A new NANOG Program Committee will be selected by the NANOG Steering Committee after the Steering Committee election in October. Eight positions are to be filled, and the Steering Committee is now seeking nominations. Per the NANOG charter (6.2.1), eligible candidates are individuals who have attended at least one NANOG meeting in the past 12 months (i.e. one or more of NANOG 42, NANOG 43 or NANOG 44). Broad technical knowledge of Internet operations and familiarity with NANOG meetings are useful attributes. Having constructive opinions and ideas about how NANOG meetings might be improved is of high value. If you are interested in nominating someone else or yourself, please send a brief note to nominations(a)nanog.org. The note should include the nominee's contact details, and a brief description of why (in your opinion) the individual concerned would be a good addition to the Program Committee. The Steering Committee will accept nominations received before the conclusion of NANOG 44 on October 14. If you would like to see a list of current nominations, please look at http://www.nanog.org/governance/elections/2008elections/2008pc_candidates.p…. Many thanks, and hope to hear from you soon!! philip (for the SC)

Dear NANOG Community: Just a few reminders and a news item. The deadline for Steering Committee Nominations is near, Tue 2008-09-09. Complete election information is available on the NANOG website. The new process will work if many are involved... nudge: A great NANOG44 agenda is now posted. Make sure to check it out and register!! Merit, along with the entire NANOG community, appreciates the involvement and support from our sponsors. If you are interested, please send email to nanog-support(a)nanog.org, as a few sponsorship opportunities for NANOG44 remain. Do not miss out on your opportunity to be part of this meeting. As many of you know, Merit has been working to improve the NANOG.ORG website. We are very pleased to announce the new site will be launched on Thursday morning, Sept. 4, at 7 am EST. Members of the NANOG Steering Committee have been working with Merit, and we hope all issues have been resolved. We believe the community will find the new site to be much more useful.

We hope you check out the new site and use it to keep in touch with important issues surrounding the Internet and the NANOG community. We look forward to seeing many of you in LA at NANOG44! and for your participation in the NANOG 2008 Elections process.

NANOG44 updated agenda, so register already
by Todd Underwood 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

<hat org="NANOG program committee" role="chair"> An updated agenda for NANOG44 has been posted at: http://nanog.org/mtg-0810/agenda.html you might notice that this NANOG features: * Keynote by Vint Cerf of Google * More tutorials than you can shake a stick at * A panel of Internet Luminaries addressing the current addressing situation from a historical perspective * A surfeit of IPv6 content (with some more likely before the event). * Lots of other great, operational presentations So I would humbly suggest that you (collectively) register for NANOG44 ( https://nanog.merit.edu/registration/ ) as quickly as possible. Discounted registration ends in less than two weeks, so save yourself $75 and get registered. You know you're going to go, so just go already. I would *strongly* suggest you reserve a hotel room if you have not already. The last several NANOGs all available discounted rooms in the room block have gone very quickly. ( http://nanog.org/mtg-0810/hotel.html ) Note that the program is now effectively full (there are 2-3 slots left that are saved for conditionally accepted talks that are already in progress or any presentations dealing with late-breaking events, but the event would have to be exceptionally significant and interesting). If you didn't submit for this NANOG conference, please consider submitting a presentation for NANOG45. See y'all (that's "yinz" in Pittsburgh :-) in LA. t. </hat> -- _____________________________________________________________________ todd underwood +1 603 643 9300 x101 renesys corporation general manager babbledog todd(a)renesys.com http://www.renesys.com/blog

Reminder: Presentation materials for NANOG44/45 are welcomed
by Ren Provo 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Hi folks, The tentative agenda for NANOG44 will be released shortly and registration will open for the October meeting. There are many time slots marked as 'speaker - pending' or 'tutorial - pending' due to abstracts lacking actual presentations. We believe there are many good ideas lurking within the abstracts and highly encourage those who consider their submission a work in progress to complete the presentation portion and submit it to NANOG-Support(a)nanog.org today. Thanks! -Ren Provo, NANOG PC
