We invite you to join us on Sunday evening from 5:00-7:00, between the tutorials and the opening reception, when the NANOG Steering Committee will hold an open meeting for those interested in discussing general NANOG concerns. The meeting will be broadcast, and a method for external input (e.g. jabber) will be provided.

The agenda the SC has come up with so far is:

• Steeering Committee progress/status report
• Open microphone
• Steve Feldman, CNET - Program Committee report
• Open microphone
• Betty Burke, Merit - Finance report
• Open microphone
• Mailing List issues
  • Policy and process
  • Appeal process
  • SC process regarding ML committee, i.e. terms, selection, ... as this is not covered well in the NANOG charter.
• Other open issues
• Open microphone

If you have other items for the formal agenda, please send email to steering@nanog.org.

If you have a flash presentation (five minutes max) you wish to make, please tell us and send a draft of the presentation.
