In the best-case scenario, an alert is received because something went (or is about to go) wrong. In those cases, recipients can at least be grateful they found out before things worsened. Far more often, however, people hate getting alerts for the exact opposite reason: They are meaningless, trivial, or just plain wrong—a source of constant interruptions, false alarms, unplanned work, and "noise." While many are convinced that this is the inherent nature of alerts (and monitoring in general), it can be so much better... *WATCH NOW <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNMwvX4aoic>* *Early Bird Gets the Worm* *Take Advantage of Discounted Registration Prices + Access to Hotel Info* Early registration prices will end on 08, April.

2024 NANOG Committee Appointments
by NANOG Support 21 Feb '24

21 Feb '24

NANOG Community, I am excited to announce that 34 NANOG members accepted appointments to a committee. So many highly-qualified volunteers from the NANOG membership were nominated for this year’s committee selection, and we personally thank each NANOG member who offered their time. As an organization, NANOG was founded by volunteers who developed a quality forum for North America’s operator community. Despite the growth in NANOG’s programs, volunteers greatly outnumber professional staff. The volunteer-only committees drive many of the ideas for growth and development in the organization and community as a whole. Please join me in congratulating the appointed committee members: Audit Committee Tom Beecher, Jason Bothe, Stevan Plote, and Charles Rumford Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee Jon Eikel, Moira Johnson, Toni Kalombo, Tina Morris, and Yingzhen Qu Education Committee Hosein Badran and Paul Emmons Elections Committee Fearghas McKay and Chris Rogers Hackathon Committee Aaron Atac, Kate Gerry, Ryan Hamel, Toni Kalombo, Fearghas McKay, Dhairyasheel Patil, Aaron Roth, Charles Rumford, Steve Ulrich, and Chris Woodfield Mentorship Committee Jon Eikel, Darrell Newcomb, Ivo Pascucci, Justin Ryburn, Matt Petach, and Wendy Leedy Program Committee Nagendra Nainar, Krassimir Tzvetanov, John Brown, Elizabeth Culley, Kate Gerry, Alex Latzko, Fearghas McKay, Steve Meuse, Yingzhen Qu, Arul Sekar, Steve Ulrich, and Jeffrey Zhang We are truly excited to see what develops for NANOG over the next year working with these volunteers. Please also join me in thanking and recognizing the many contributions of committee alumni who have termed out: Audit Committee Alan Hannan Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee Evan Breznyik and Marcus Holt Education Committee Alex Bortok, Ron Kovac, and Reddy Urmindi Elections Committee Calin Miculescu, Mauricio Rodriguez, Inga Turner, and Leo Vegoda Mentorship Committee Ron Grant, Edward McNair, and Reddi Urmindi Program Committee Melchior Aelmans, Kam Agahian, Aaron Atac, Jason Bothe, Marcus Holt, Manish Krishnan, John Kristoff, Charles Rumford, James Shank, Mike Starr, and Chris Woodfield Volunteer participation from these members on NANOG committees developed new programs, brought new ideas and new methods into practice, and helped to evolve the NANOG organization. We would not be where we are without their time and contributions. We look forward to continuing working together to build the Internet of tomorrow, and hope to see you at a NANOG conference soon! Sincerely, Valerie Wittkop (On behalf of the NANOG Board of Directors)
