The new NANOG SC held its first meeting on Tuesday evening at the close of NANOG 41. One of the first action items for the SC (as per 6.1 in the Charter) is to appoint a new chair to serve for a one year term. After holding a vote, I would like to report that I have been accorded the privilege of being chair of the NANOG SC for the next year. As incoming chair, and on behalf of the new SC, I'd like to thank Joe Abley for his sterling service of the last year as outgoing SC Chair. And also thank him for his service to the community as member of the SC since August 2005. I would also like to extend the SC's appreciative thanks to Bill Norton for his valuable contribution to NANOG and the SC during his term of service on the SC. Both he and Joe have contributed much time and energy to help make the NANOG organisation what it is today. The new Steering Committee is as follows: Betty Burke (Merit Appointee) Randy Bush Steve Feldman Jared Mauch Chris Morrow Joe Provo Philip Smith with the MLC Chair (Alex Pilosov) and the PC Chair (TBA) serving as ex-officio members. Finally, many thanks to all the SC Candidates who put their names forward for to run for a position. Their support is greatly appreciated, and it is our hope that those who were unsuccessful would consider standing again next year. Philip Smith (for the SC)
