2008 NANOG Elections General Information
From: Philip Smith for the NANOG SC
Elections for three of the six elected positions on the NANOG Steering Committee (SC) will be held in October 2008. The currently-serving Steering Committee members whose terms are expiring are Joe Provo, Randy Bush and Philip Smith. Randy and Philip have also served two consecutive terms so, as per the charter, they cannot be considered for re-election until October 2009.
The NANOG Steering Committee works closely with Merit to promote, support and improve NANOG. The Steering Committee is responsible for the selection of the Program 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 Steering Committee, or to find out more about what's involved in being an Steering Committee member, please consult the
NANOG Charter
or contact someone who is already serving and ask them directly.
How to Nominate SomeoneYou 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.

The candidates will be given an opportunity to make brief comments and/or accept questions from the community at the NANOG44 Community Meeting, Sunday, October 12th, beginning at 5:30 PM, PDT.

NANOG Program CommitteeThe NANOG Program Committee is a group of sixteen individuals from the NANOG community who together are responsible for the solicitation and selection of material for NANOG meeting Programs.
A new NANOG Program Committee will be selected by the NANOG Steering Committee after the Steering Committee election in October. Eight positions are to be filled, and the Steering Committee is now seeking nominations.
2008 Program Committee Candidates
Per the NANOG charter (6.2.1), eligible candidates are individuals who have attended at least one NANOG meeting in the past 12 months (i.e. one or more of NANOG 42, NANOG 43 or NANOG 44). Broad technical knowledge of Internet operations and familiarity with NANOG meetings are useful attributes. Having constructive opinions and ideas about how NANOG meetings might be improved is of high value.
If you are interested in nominating someone else or yourself, please send a brief note to nominations@nanog.org. The note should include the nominee's contact details, and a brief description of why (in your opinion) the individual concerned would be a good addition to the Program Committee.
The Steering Committee will accept nominations received before the conclusion of NANOG 44 on October 14.
