Reminder: Open nominations for Program Committee members
by Steve Feldman 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

Just a reminder that nominations for the three open NANOG Program Committee positions are due by Friday! ----- Forwarded message from Steve Feldman <feldman(a)twincreeks.net> ----- From: Steve Feldman <feldman(a)twincreeks.net> To: nanog-announce(a)nanog.org Date: Sat, 28 May 2005 18:24:06 -0700 Subject: Open nominations for Program Committee members There are currently three vacant positions on the NANOG Program Committee. According to the draft charter[1]: "... the three Program Committee seats vacant as of May 2005 will be filled through appointment by the current committee after an open nomination process." Accordingly, the committee is soliciting nominations for these open positions, from now through Friday, June 10, 2005. ** Procedure ** To nominate yourself or someone else, please send mail to nominate(a)nanogpc.org with the following information, no later than Friday, June 10: - Your name - Nominee's name (if not you) - Nominee's email address - Nominee's phone number - Reasons why you believe the nominee is qualified to serve on the Program Committee. A committee member will contact each of the nominees to verify interest and possibly request additional information. Once all nominations have been received, the committee will begin selecting the three new members from among the nominees. The results will be announced to the nanog-announce list. ** Eligibility ** The draft charter states: "To be eligible to be appointed as a member of the Program Committee, an individual must have attended one NANOG meeting within the prior calendar year (12 months). " ** Duties ** Again quoting the draft charter: "The Program Committee is responsible for motivating/soliciting people to submit interesting talks, selecting the submissions which seem most appropriate (with some attention to presentation skills), and following up with speakers after acceptances to ensure that presentations are completed in time, with ample warning of potential problems with the presentation." "Each member of the Program Committee must review all presentations submitted for each meeting. The Chair may excuse a member from one meeting's review cycle due to extenuating circumstances, but if a member misses two meetings in a row, he or she may be removed from the committee." ** Length of term ** These appointments are temporary (as are those for the rest of the current committee), lasting only until the October 2005 meeting. The draft charter does require that the Steering Committee in forming their first appointed Program Committee, carry forward at least half the current members as of that time. If you have any further questions, please post to the nanog list, contact me directly, or entire committee at nanogpc(a)nanog.org. Finally, on behalf of the Program Committee, I would like to thank our three outgoing members, Barry Raveendran Greene, kc claffy, and Curtis Villamizar, for their years of dedicated service to NANOG and the Internet operations community. Steve Feldman PC Chair [1] The draft charter is available at http://www.nanog.org/charter05.html ----- End forwarded message -----

Configured to export v5 flows, cat6509 running IOS is sourcing 95% v7, and 5% v5. Anyone seen this kind of behaviour? - billn

Reuters: Europe broadband surpasses Americas
by Fergie (Paul Ferguson) 08 Jun '05

Not exactly operationally relevent, but interesting nonetheless. - ferg >From a Reuters newswire article appearing in CNN/Money: http://money.cnn.com/2005/06/08/news/international/broadband.reut/index.htm [snip] More Europeans than Americans had a broadband Internet connection in the first quarter, according to a survey published Wednesday, which also showed South Korea is on the verge of losing its global pole position. The Asia Pacific region, where most of the world's population live, remained the world's biggest broadband market with 61 million subscribers and a 39 percent share of the global broadband market, Anglo-Dutch research group TelecomPaper said. Europe was second with 47.95 million fast Internet subscribers, overtaking the Americas with 47.53 million. "Europe has outrun the Americas for the first time in history and became the second largest broadband market in the world," TelecomPaper said in a note. [snip] -- "Fergie", a.k.a.

My original post to the list contained nothing about any services I expect with provider xxx. I asked if anybody else saw packet loss or congestion. My follow-up posts contained the reason as to why I was posting this to the list instead of to my provider, I then took it off-list with 2 other posters and managed to get more info out of them then out of GBLX. I try not to bash anybody because I know that doesn't really resolve anything most of the time. >I'd like to see the higher level stuff we used to do and have some >sort of information along with it vs. "i see a packet drop in XYZ". >A prefix or something. That usually makes people go look. I agree, it totally slipped my mind to provide that info. I just typed up a quick post and sent it out. Im my humble opinion I think this is Nanog content and that is why I posted it. Most posters opinion of what is and what isn't appropriate content varies. I love my delete key, if I don't think it's appropriate I delete it. No harm done to me. To each his own I guess. Thanks to those that responded.
