People of NANOG, Elections for three of the six elected positions on the NANOG Steering Committee will be held in October 2007. The currently- serving SC members whose terms are expiring are Joe Abley, Chris Morrow and William B. Norton. The NANOG Steering Committee works closely with Merit to promote, support and improve NANOG. The Steering Committee is responsible for the selection of the Programme Committee and the Mailing List Committee, and is the community's instrument for ensuring that NANOG as an organisation remains open, relevant and useful. If you care about NANOG as a forum, and think you would like to take a turn at volunteering your time to help make it better, please consider either volunteering yourself or nominating someone else. For more information about the role of the SC, or to find out more about what's involved in being an SC member see the NANOG charter or contact someone who is already serving and ask them directly. http://www.nanog.org/charter.html http://www.nanog.org/sc.current.html HOW TO NOMINATE SOMEONE You may nominate someone else, or yourself. There is no limit to the number of nominations that may be submitted by a single person. Individual nominees will be contacted directly to confirm that they are willing to accept the nomination, and so that they can supply a biography for the NANOG web page.
