Hi folks,

A reminder of today being the due date for Abstracts for NANOG66 in San Diego.

We'd like to see things submitted the PC Tool.  Don't sweat it if the idea isn't all the way fleshed out.
The PC meets bi-weekly to review submissions and assign a "Shepherd" w/in the PC to help develop and refine the content.

If you did happen to have materials such as a draft slide deck ready, please upload it to the PC Tool as well as it helps give the PC a sense of the scope and level of detail of the proposal.

Thanks,
Tony
Chair, NANOG Program Committee
