If you're interested in discussing any of this, and you're not on nanog-futures@ already, see <http://www.nanog.org/ email.html>] ** If you're not interested in the continuing organisational aspects of NANOG, hit delete now. Zero operational content follows. ** There are several proposed charter amendments up for vote in St Louis. You'll see a summary of them here: http://www.nanog.org/charter/ There's one change pending to that summary, which is to break out the three options in proposal 2006-03 so that they can each be voted on separately (they're mutually exclusive, so you should only be able to to vote for one of them). If you have opinions on any of the proposals, now would be a good time to voice them on the nanog-futures@ list. Agents are standing by. Joe (for the steering committee)
