Have we considered "grooming" folks via the committees? Seems like a better place to allow folks to dip their toes in. But maybe I'm too timid. ------- Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2017 10:59:32 -0700 From: Dave Temkin <dave@temk.in> To: members@nanog.org, "North American Network Operators' Group" <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Re: 2017 NANOG Elections General Information Message-ID: <CAFJiuFq1OegB5kra0aEiVoiDZfGKVECG=qNWwPS8S9DDh+b+6g@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hi NANOG Community, Nominations are rapidly coming to a close - September 8th is the last day to submit nominees. Unfortunately, to follow up on my paragraph about diversity: So far, every single candidate that has completed the nomination process is a white male. Having sat in on sessions such as Women in Technology lunch, I know that this community is passionate about diversity. If you, or a friend, would like to discuss what it takes to be on the NANOG board, I or my colleagues would love to speak about it. If you're ready to enter the nomination process, you can see details below. Best Regards, -Dave Temkin, for the NANOG Board of Directors
