Hello Everyone:> We are very happy to report the next steps in the evolution of NANOG are underway. We welcome your support and feed-back. The new NANOG charter is available at: http://www.nanog.org/charter.html changes in the new charter include: Section 5: added a parenthetical clause so the text now reads: "Anyone who has registered for a NANOG meeting in the previous two years (as of the opening date of voting) may vote in any matter which comes before the community for a vote." Section 6: moved two sentences to section 6.3: "No action may be taken by the committee unless at least four members of the committee are present. Those items on which the Steering Committee votes will be decided by absolute majority." Section 6.2.1 - old version: "Because a large Program Committee will be better able to handle the heavy workload, the Program Committee will consist of 16 members (plus one member appointed by Merit)." New version: "The Program Committee will consist of 16 members appointed by the Steering Committee plus one member appointed by Merit." ----- The candidates for the Steering Committee are: Joe Abley Randy Bush Christopher Chin Ron da Silva Vince Fuller Steve Gibbard Dan Golding Martin Hannigan Dorian Kim Mark Kosters Jared Mauch Chris Morrow William B. Norton Philip Smith Josh Snowhorn Dave Wodelet Lixia Zhang Further information found at: http://www.nanog.org/candidates05.html ------ Community members eligible to vote in the 2005 NANOG Steering Committee election are found at: http://www.nanog.org/voters05.html To qualify, you must have attended at least one NANOG meeting in the past two years, i.e., between fall 2003 (Chicago, NANOG 29) and spring 2005 (Seattle, NANOG 34). Email addresses will be used to authenticate voters during the election. Voters for whom Merit does not have an email address are marked with ***. If your name is marked, or if you're not listed and believe you should be, please send e-mail to nanog-support@nanog.org. ------ A new email list, nanog-elections@merit.edu, for discussion of the elections has been created. Merit will handle moderation of the new list per the aup found at: http://www.nanog.org/aup.elections.html (Everyone on nanog-futures is automatically subscribed, and we'll also subscribe all eligible voters for whom we have email addresses.) Information regarding the election process will be sent to this list is a few days. --------- Information regarding the NANOG list moderation committee is found at: http://nanog.org/listadmins.html --------- Lastly, very soon, Steve Feldman (current PC Chair) will be sending information regarding the new Program Committee members. --------- In summary, THANK YOU to so many for their support, extra time and assistance. Merit and the NANOG community are very grateful. As always, please feel free to send email or call if you have questions regarding this email or the NANOG evolution process. All the best!:> Betty Burke and Susan Harris Merit Network

could you annotate which of these candidates actually work at an isp or large content provider? randy
Randy, People's employers are posted at http://www.nanog.org/candidates05.html. It gets a bit complicated because some folks work at "infrastructure" companies - collocation/peering or DNS (Mark, Bill, Josh, Marty). Others do significant consulting work for large providers or hosters, but aren't actually employed by any of them at present (at least Steve and myself, probably some others). It gets more fun because sometimes folks who work for operators or hosters are actually researchers who don't do lots of operational things (and other times, they are researchers who actually DO lots of operational things). I'd guess folks can look at the bios and figure it all out for themselves :) - Dan On 6/17/05 10:55 AM, "Randy Bush" <randy@psg.com> wrote:

Perhaps using the ARIN model for this would be a good idea. IIRC, after someone in nominated, they are asked to fill out a small questionnaire. Things like Organization, Org URL, Why do you want to serve on the AC?, Describe how your professional goals and experience are relevant, Describe your technical (especially IP) and professional qualifications for filling an AC seat, etc. Also, an important question is: Please provide detailed biographical information to include all experience, activities, associations, and affiliations (national and international) relevant to serving on the AC. Describe positions held, and your specific duties, achievements, and levels of responsibility. Include the names of organizations served and dates of service. Realising the above is specific to the AC, I believe with simple modifications, these questions would serve the NANOG community well in letting us feel comfortable with the nominees.

While it's not quite as specific as above, don't the candidate bios <http://www.nanog.org/candidates05.html> serve much the same purpose? Quick glance at the bios seem to fairly cogently list candidates' current employment and responsibilities as well as relevant activities. So, are we missing something? Should we be adding candidate position statements and such? -dorian

there are at least two folk on the list who are pretty much purely marketing. hard to tell from that page. randy
