The open nomination period for candidates to fill the three open NANOG Program Committee postions has ended. I am pleased to announce that we have eleven people who have accepted nominations: They are (in random order): Richard Steenbergen Joe Abley John Murphy Todd Underwood Christopher Morrow Christopher Quesada Pete Kruckenberg Jay Adelson Patrick Gilmore Henry (Hank) Kilmer Aaron Hughes As required by the draft NANOG charter[1], the current Program Committee members[2] will now begin the difficult task of choosing from among these fine candidates. The charter does not specify a procedure, so after some discussion we have decided to do this: Now through Wednesday, June 15: - Accept comments from the public on the nominees Wednesday, June 15: - Hold a conference call to discuss the nominees and review the voting process Thursday, June 16: - Each current PC member will vote for three of the candidates Friday, June 17: - Tabulate the votes, the top three are selected - Notify the candidates of the results - Announce the results to the mailing list We encourage you to submit any comments on these nominees that you would like us to consider while making our decisions. Please send your comments to "nanogpc@nanog.org" by Wednesday. As always, questions or comments on this process or any Program Committee activities are welcomed; feel free to send them either to me or the PC as a whole.
