<hat type="program committee" role="chair" scope="NANOG"> the astute (or obsessive) among you may have already noted that the nanog 43 draft agenda was recently posted at: http://nanog.org/mtg-0806/agenda.html the program committee is excited about both the content that has already been selected and how early we have been able to get this announcement out to the community. we have received feedback indicating that announcing most of the agenda early significantly improves attendees' ability to obtain travel approvals and make travel plans. so here you have it. two months out. there are a few slots left and a bunch of great content still in the submission queue, so expect a final agenda announcement within a couple of weeks. if you have not already booked your travel and hotel for nanog 43 in brooklyn, please consider doing so soon. hotel rooms are a steal for NYC (only $239!) and the city is beautiful in june. thanks very much to telx for subsidizing the rooms to meet the cost standards of the unusually frugal (even miserly) group that we are! this is really what makes this nanog in brooklyn possible. i want to thank the community for the outpouring of interesting submissions that we received--there was a lot of good content to choose from. i also want to thank the program committee members for all their hard work recruiting, shepherding and reviewing content. it's not easy being on the program committee and we have a great team of people working hard to produce this conference. we think you'll like it. hope see you in brooklyn. todd underwood </hat> -- _____________________________________________________________________ todd underwood +1 603 643 9300 x101 renesys corporation general manager babbledog todd@renesys.com http://www.renesys.com/blog http://babbledog.com/
