NANOG43 Program Committee Meeting Minutes
Conference call minutes from:
February 26, 2008, NANOG43 PC Meeting Minutes
- Merit attendees: Andy Rosenzweig, Val Wittkop
- SC attendees: Chris Morrow
- PC attendees: Larry Blunk, Igor Gashinsky, Kobi Hsu, Mike Hughes, Joel
Jaeggli, Rodney Joffe, Sylvie LaPerriere, Keith Mitchell, Kevin Oberman,
Ren Provo, Josh Snowhorn, Richard Steenbergen and Todd Underwood
- Known conflicts (APRICOT): Ted Seely, Bill Woodcock
The goal of the first call was to identify start and end times for NANOG43
in general plus daily coffee breaks, lunches, potential panels, BOFs and
keynote slots to enable Merit to work with the host, sponsors and the hotel
to secure appropriate space and catering commitments. A rough cut of the
survey results was made available to NANOG PC members the day of the call
so community feedback from NANOG42 could be considered.
- Start times. The Community Meeting will begin at 5:30pm on Sunday, the 1st
of June following afternoon tutorials. More than half of the survey
respondents chose pre-10am as the program kick-off each business day. We
will proceed with a 9:30am start for NANOG43 program Monday through
Wednesday. Breakfast will be made available at 8:30am each business day.
- Lunch breaks. A single hour was deemed insufficient by a high percentage
of the respondents. 1.5 hours will be allocated, starting at 1pm to reduce
rush hour impact, for lunch during NANOG43 on Monday and Tuesday.
- Beer and gear. Shifting the program to a later start requires and
adjustment for the afternoon schedule. Beer and gear will start at 5:30pm.
NANOG43 will end at 2pm on Wednesday the 4th of June.
- BOFs. There appears to be some interest in webcasting presentations made
during BOFs, a portion of the agenda which has traditionally been less
structured on purpose. Perhaps the NANOG43 survey should include a
question on this front to better gauge interest. There has been
considerable interest in the Security BOF and the Peering BOF for NANOG43.
We are already aware of submissions which will exceed the previously
allocated time on the agenda. In particular:
- Security. Danny McPherson, longtime submitter/host, is seeking session
leaders to assist with both the General Security BOF and the IP Hijacking
BOF. The IP Hijacking BOF will be scheduled for Sunday afternoon so onsite
discussions may be covered in the panel on Wednesday.
- Peering. Several people, including Bill Norton, a longtime
submitter/host, expressed interest in contributing content for the Peering
BOF. The PC proposes expanding the Peering content into two segments and
thought that a recommended focus for the two would be introduction to
peering policy followed by intermediate to advanced technical
considerations. Sylvie LaPerriere and Richard Steenbergen will work with
Bill Norton to accommodate expansion of this program element. Other
related content, such as Transit Buying Strategies and Tactics BOF will
either be incorporated into this segment or scheduled adjacent if possible.
- ARIN. Owen DeLong committed on behalf of the ARIN AC to submit a
presentation on IPv4 Depletion for the general assembly during NANOG43
which will address concerns regarding lack of webcasts in their NANOG42
BOF. This agenda allocation will be in addition to an ARIN update supplied
by Mark Kosters on registry activities.
- Tutorials. Elizabeth Zwicky's mentoring overview on Sunday during
NANOG42 was well received. Recommendations to expand upon this theme lead
the PC to solicit a game theory or general problem solving techniques
tutorial for NANOG43. IPv6 DNS overview, Webcasting 101, IPTV, MPLS, flash
crowd network management, architectural solutions for multi-homed
enterprises, etc. are also themes the NANOG PC would like to see on the
either the general program or in tutorial segments Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday. They may only be vendor specific in tutorial segments and should
be marked as such in the abstracts to appear on the agenda for NANOG43.
The CFP for NANOG43 will be released this week.

The goal of the second call was to identify accepted presentations, panels,
BOFs, tutorials and the keynote for posting NANOG43's tentative agenda.
We accepted 14 of 25 submissions.
One submission received conditional acceptance for NANOG44 in Los Angeles,
October 2008.
Feedback on conditional acceptance presentations was solicited during the
call and will be sent to submitters shortly.
Presentations were pending for several abstracts at the start of the call.
Two similar panels have been combined into one thanks to the work of both
submitters upon notification of similar abstracts.
The tentative agenda for NANOG43 will be released prior to April.

The goal of the third call was to review conditional acceptance
resubmissions and any new presentations.
Lightning Talks will be accepted beginning late May.
We have two remaining slots available on Tuesday for additional
tutorials.
BOFs and Panels have solidified and we are now accepting submissions for
NANOG44.
The IX panel has grown to more than five panelists and there was concern
regarding Monday's beer and gear hard-stop. To allow sufficient time for
this panel we have swapped the Monday and Tuesday afternoon tracks.
An email inviting Newcomers to participate in the breakfast on Monday
morning will be sent out approximately one week prior to NANOG43.
Presenters will be asked to load their slides onto the speaker's laptop
in advance of the session track. The goal is to reduce lag time between
presentations and we thank speakers for working with Merit and session
leaders to make this happen. Merit may also make mention of this during
the Community Meeting so NANOG44 presenters are made aware of the need to
complete their presentation in a timely manner.

The goal of the fourth call was to make any scheduling adjustments
necessary for accepted presentations, panels, BOFs, tutorials and the
keynote for posting NANOG43's final agenda.
Three late submissions were approved for open slots that had been saved for
late and timely submissions. A single slot remains available to be used
for extremely topical material or additional lightning talks.
Presentations cannot be accepted for the general sessions without NANOG PC
review of the slides. PC Members who received materials from a pending
presentation have forwarded them to the nanogpc@nanog.org mailing list in
years past. To prevent inconsistent reviews going forward all materials
must be uploaded in the NANOG PC tool.
We have one or two beer & gear hosting slots available at present in
addition to a few break slots.
We would like to thank our host, Telx, for the social event at the close of
the meeting.
When: Wednesday June 4th from 7pm – 11pm
