Hi all - NANOG 14 will be held November 9-10 (with tutorials on the 8th) at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis 265 Peachtree Center Avenue Atlanta, Georgia 30303 (404) 521-0000 (Voice) (404) 586-6098 (Fax) Be sure to mention the NANOG group when you register at the hotel; the group rate is $149/night. The NANOG 14 registration page is scheduled to go up Friday. wbn Transition -------------- I am leaving Merit at the end of the month. After 4 years of evening classes while working full-time at Merit, I'm planning on taking a few months off for a much needed vacation, and then move on to something else. Craig Labovitz has agreed to join Pam and Susan and run NANOG 14. (With respect to my other responsibilities, Sue Hares will be taking over Directorship of the RSNG Project, and Craig will be leading the community RADB/IRRD project.) All of us will be at IETF next week if you have any questions or concerns; I'll probably see you all there as I troll one last time for NANOG topics. As we enter September: Agenda proposals should be sent to labovit@merit.edu and srh@merit.edu, Logistics/Vendor Sponsorship questions should be sent to pam@merit.edu, Joke submissions (will still be greatly appreciated BTW) should still be sent to wbn@umich.edu ;-) You guys have made chairing NANOG the most fun part of my job at Merit. I want to thank you all and wish you the best! Cheers - Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- William B. Norton <wbn@umich.edu> 734.936.2656 (W) 734.662.0748 (H)
