Nominations for the Open 2009 MLC Positions are:
Mehmet Akcin, ICANN Biography: Mehmet Akcin is based in Orange County, CA with 12 years of experience running networks for various ASN, including 5786, 36810, 40528, 26711. Mehmet is now working with day to day operations of L-Root (20144) and ICANN DNS Ops (AS26299). Mehmet have been a NANOG lurker since very late 90s and have been trying to regularly attend the meetings since 2003.
Kris Foster, BitGravity Biography: Kris Foster is currently at BitGravity. He previously served as a network planner at Rogers Cable, acting as peering coordinator and performing engineering on their IP backbone. Previously Kris worked in the office of the CTO at Telus where he was responsible for peering and transit engineering. He is currently completing joint Bachelor Degrees in Mathematics and Philosophy at the University of Calgary.
Simon Lyall Statement of interest: I've found being on the MLC quite interesting, and I think I've made a fairly positive contribution. The list quality has improved a bit in the last year but there is still further room for improvement and plenty of room for going backwards.

Biography: Simon Lyall is a System and Network Administrator based in Auckland, New Zealand. He has been involved with Internet operations at various companies since 1993 and has been a participant on NANOG since 2000.
Michael K. Smith, Adhost Statement of interest: I would like to offer my services on the MLC. I have been attending meetings since NANOG16 and have been on the mailing list since before then under various email addresses (all with mksmith@). I have previous experience managing a large, moderated mailing list - the H-Mac mailing list (http://www.h-net.org). I have significant experience in large scale WAN deployments, from the physical layer on up. I also have a background in systems integration and management as well as network and systems security.

Although I've managed moderated lists in the past, I don't have a belief this is the appropriate model for the NANOG Mailing List. I would always abide by the MLC Charter and the NANOG Charter and would not have a heavy-handed approach to list management.

Biography: Mike has been working in and around the Internet since 1995. He is presently the CEO of Adhost, a Seattle-based colocation, hosting and managed services company, as well as being a technical advisor to the Seattle Internet Exchange and a SANS Mentor trainer. Previously he built and managed networks for a large, regional ISP and a large optical and ethernet services provider. He has also served on the ARIN Nomination Committee, the ARIN Fellowship Selection Comittee and the ISSA Seattle Chapter Election Committee. Finally, he has been involved with IPv6 since the 6-Bone days and runs a production IPv6 network.
