[Steve Feldman <feldman () twincreeks net>]

Nominations for the NANOG Program Committee are still open.

There are eight terms ending this year:

    Joe Abley
    Kevin Epperson
    Steve Feldman
    Hank Kilmer
    Christopher Morrow
    David O'Leary
    Ted Seely
    Bill Woodcock

(All eight are eligible for another term, under the charter.)

** Procedure **

To nominate yourself or someone else, please send mail to
nanog-elections () nanog org with the following, no later than Wednesday,
October 11:

- Your name
- Nominee's name (if not you)
- Nominee's email address
- Nominee's phone number
- Reasons why you believe the nominee is qualified to
   serve on the Program Committee.

Merit will contact each of the nominees to verify interest and
possibly request additional information.

The Steering Committee, with input from the current Program Committee,
will then select the person to fill the position.

** Eligibility **

The charter states:

   "To be eligible to be appointed as a member of the Program
   Committee, an individual must have attended one NANOG meeting
   within the prior calendar year (12 months). "

** Duties **

Again quoting the charter:

   "The Program Committee is responsible for motivating/soliciting
   people to submit interesting talks, selecting the submissions which
   seem most appropriate (with some attention to presentation skills),
   and following up with speakers after acceptances to ensure that
   presentations are completed in time, with ample warning of potential
   problems with the presentation."

   "Each member of the Program Committee must review all presentations
   submitted for each meeting.   The Chair may excuse a member from
   one meeting's review cycle due to extenuating circumstances, but
   if a member misses two meetings in a row, he or she may be removed
   from the committee."

** Length of term **

This position is for the remainder of a two year term, which began after
the Fall 2005 meeting, and ends with the Fall 2007 meeting.

If you have any further questions, please post to the nanog-futures  
list,
or contact the Steering Committee at steering () nanog org.

        Steve Feldman, PC Chair
