2005 Steering Committee Election Results

Election Results
Based on the election results, here is the new 7-member NANOG Steering Committee, comprising one (1) representative appointed by Merit Network and six (6) elected members:
  • Betty Burke (Merit Representative)
  • Chris Morrow, UUNET/MCI
  • William B. Norton, Equinix
  • Joe Abley, ISC
  • Randy Bush, IIJ
  • Philip Smith, Cisco
  • Jared Mauch, Verio
In accordance with the NANOG charter, Program Committee chair Steve Feldman will serve as an ex officio member of the Steering Committee.

Many thanks to the new committee and to all the other candidates who donated time to the process -- it's been great to see such a high level of interest from the community.
Election Summary
Over 1800 people were eligible to vote, with eligibility based on having attended at least one NANOG meeting in the past two years, i.e., between fall 2003 (Chicago, NANOG 29) and spring 2005 (Seattle, NANOG 34).
Of those who were eligible to vote, 319 completed the registration process. Of those, 260 actually voted. The total number of votes cast was 1255. Although everyone who voted could choose up to six (6) candidates, not everyone selected that many -- that is why the total number of votes is less than it might have been.
The voting mechanism was designed to ensure that each registered voter cast only one ballot. To respect privacy and protect confidentiality, the identity of the voter and the choices made on the ballot were decoupled so there is no way to know who voted for whom.
Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who voted!
