Steve Feldman, CNE

After eight meetings as Program Committee chair, it's time to
move on and bring new faces and ideas into the PC.
I would like to continue working for the NANOG community, and
I believe that I can be most useful by serving on the Steering
Committee.
If elected, my priorities would include:
- Work towards the stability and long-term sustainability of NANOG as a conference and as a community.
- Enhance relationships with the Program Committee, Merit, and other internal and external groups.
- Develop and enhance processes and procedures, and ensure that the charter and reality agree.
Steve Feldman has been involved in computer networking since 1978. He
has worked in software development and network engineering for Tymnet and
MFS/Worldcom, where he was the principal architect for the MAE Internet
exchanges. Since then, he has gone on to work for several startups and
acted as an independent consultant, and is now a network engineer for CNET
Networks. Steve received B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science from
the University of California at Berkeley.

Chris Morrow, UUNET/MCI/VerizonBusiness
|
Chris Morrow started with UUNET/MCI in
the Internet Customer Security Department assisting customers with
mitigation of live security incidents and Denial of Service attacks. Over
the five years he has been with UUNET/MCI he has remained in the Internet
Customer Security Department while expanding his responsibilities to
include development tasks and backbone security threat mitigation.
While in this position Chris has helped develop several techniques for
Denial of Service Mitigation, including the method currently used by
UUNET/MCI to track attack traffic across its backbone and the method which
allows UUNET/MCI customers to blackhole their own IP space in the event
that space is being attacked. Additionally, Chris has contributed to
several features available now on Juniper and Cisco routers used to
provide security services. His responsibilities now include resolving
security engineering tasks for the UUNET/MCI IP Backbone as well as
customer security issues.
Chris has presented to several industry conferences the current 'best
practices' for backbone security and customer security on a large backbone
network. This has enabled many other large network service providers to
implement similar reaction methods used to mitigate customer security
issues, allowing better cooperation between network providers during
global security incidents.

William B. Norton, Equinix Inc.
|
Most NANOGers know me best for running the last 16 popular and well attended NANOG Peering BOFs, and chairing a wide variety of peering forums here and abroad, but I have been involved with NANOG for over 13 years. I was the chair of NANOG for many years, beginning in 1995. During that time I also developed the first NANOG business model as we migrated from the Regional Techs Meetings. When I left Merit in 1998 to help start Equinix, I continued in a guidance role as a member of the NANOG Program Advisory Group.
With the new NANOG charter in 2004, I was elected by the community to serve as a member of the first NANOG Steering Committee. During this delicate transition I helped maintain balance between NANOG Operations Community interests and Merit interests.
Along with this NANOG experience I am fortunate to have a day job that allows me to spend 90% of my time working with the operations community of carriers, ISPs, and content providers. This position provides me with insight about (and contact with) those implementing changes across the commercial Internet. I am dedicated to the Internet Operations community and, with this background, I feel I am well positioned to continue to serve the community on the NANOG Steering Committee.
Biography
Norton holds a MBA from the Michigan Business School and a BA in Computer Science from Potsdam College. His title is Co-Founder and Chief Technical Liaison for Equinix, Inc., a leading provider of Internet Exchange and collocation services. He has authored a dozen Internet Operations industry white papers, spoken at over 150 forums, and helps with Internet Operations forums around the world.

Josh Snowhorn, Terremark - NAP of the Americas
|
I would like to humbly serve on the NANOG Steering Committee to help bring balance to the process of creating the best meetings for the community. I have been attending NANOG since 2000 and have been an avid participant in the Peering Community associated with NANOG. In all of the years I have been going to NANOG I have seen the dynamic of what makes NANOG change and feel I can facilitate this even further.
Josh Snowhorn is a Vice President at Terremark Worldwide responsible for all Peering related services for the company. He has been with Terremark since the inception of the NAP of the Americas (NOTA), the largest carrier neutral Data Center in the Western hemisphere, including being involved with the site selection, design and construction of the facility. He has been a member of the global Peering community for many years including being the founder of the Global Peering Forum events.

Duane Wessels, The Measurement Factory
|
My nomination to serve on the NANOG steering committe is a welcome
surprise. I think that NANOG is an invaluable forum and I always
look forward to attending the meetings. Over the years I have been
lucky to work closely with the Merit staff by helping to operate
the DNS/DHCP/caching servers during the meetings (I'm also handy
with RJ45 crimpers and gaffer tape).
Whereas most most NANOG members are, in fact, network operators,
my perspective is more as a researcher and software developer.
Through my company I do a lot of research on DNS and IP traffic in
cooperation with CAIDA. I am co-owner of The Measurement Factory,
creator of the Squid caching proxy, and author of three O'Reilly
books. My educational background is in Physics and Telecommunications.
