PC feedback loop
" Seems to be doing really nicely", everyone working really hard, not
" as many talks coming in as wanted but it is always like that
We _might_ get the FCC chairman, if we can do video conf. Turned down
video conf in past, but for FCC chair (person of that stature) will make effort.

CC feedback loop
Going well, different tone, all good
No movement on other forms of 'communication' than the mailing list
Tweeting - perhaps tweet each talk before it starts to warn people?

February 9, 2010, Steering Committee Meeting Minutes

Attending:

  • Steve Feldman
  • Betty Burke (Merit)
  • Joe Provo
  • Robert Seastrom
  • David Meyer
  • Duane Wessels

Absent:

  • Sylvie LaPerriere (scribe)
  • Patrick Gilmore

The Meeting:

  1. NANOG 48

    350 attendees registered, with a few more expected as of yesterday Predicting 425-450 total Attendance should be better than for Dearborn when accounting for all the Dearborn/MERIT locals.

    • Sponsorships
      • Picked up some extra break sponsors, could use 2 more
      • Beer & Gear have 8, could take 10
      • Have a lanyard sponsor
      • Have an agenda sponsor
      • Demo space - may not happen. There is vendor interest but not enough $$ to make it work. Marketing WG will decide whether to "lose" a little $$ on a proof of concept. This *must* not cost MERIT extra work. Target goal is $15k for the room.
    • Social event issues

      A sponsor backed out due to their being acquired. Also was some confusion about which night was "theirs." An informal group of companies wanted to fill the gaping social hole in the social calendar, but didn't want to pay the $2k fee to MERIT. May have resulted in some ill-feelings.

    • Meeting Network: going well, waiting on peering, will be using 802.11x wireless
    • Program: All done, modulo lightning talks
    • Community Meeting: Usual format, Steve/SC, Dave/PC, Kris/CC, Chris/MWG, Betty/MERIT
    • Face-to-Face meetings: look for announcement from Carol
    • Survey: Betty got some good feedback on N48 survey, need comments back by friday.
  2. Operator of Tomorrow

    Getting ready to implement for NANOG 49 Should get ARIN to fund one

  3. Postel Scholarship

    Any progress? No, Betty will have something before Austin Should NANOG do a scholarship link-exchange with ARIN (& others?)

  4. Program Committee - Nothing to report from Dave M
  5. Communications Committee - Randy has no free time, probably need to pick a new chair. Mike might be interested.
  6. NAWNOG - CC should discuss adding Mike Lyon as another member of CC
  7. NANOG 47 - Brian @ MERIT will update soon (before Austin)
  8. NANOG 49 - SFO all good
  9. NANOG 50 - Atlanta; Nervous about brand new hotel. connectivity may be a challenge
  10. NANOG 51 - MOU with Terremark. Negotiating with hotel to reduce/eliminate connectivity costs ($4300).
  11. NANOG 52 - In talks with Alcatel/Lucent

June 29, 2010, Steering Committee Meeting Minutes

 

  1. Quorum called 10.04 EDT
  2. Agenda bashing
    Joe will take minutes. No agenda changes.
  3. Previous meeting minutes
    There are still outstanding minutes. Please get them published.
  4. Meeting schedule
    The standing meeting remains every other Tuesday at 20.00 Eastern. No alterations of the schedule in the near-term were requested.
  5. Other administrivia, if any
    Andy is on vacation.
  6. NANOG 49 wrap-up
    No financial information as of yet. Andy provided survey preview this morning, Carol sent demographic breakdown this afternoon.

    Key Merit staff were sorely missed at the event. Dave mentioned specific presenters who had reverted to old habit of hacking their slides up the last minute. One presenter demanded their slides be removed from the standard nanog-hosted site. Joe questioned if the document hosting permission wasn't part of the normal speaker/presenter release, so there would be no grounds for any complaint; is that incorrect? People were unsure. Joe suggests that if it was not, the 'release' should be updated to make this clear.

  7. Next conference (NANOG 50)
    No information on-hand regarding registration or hotel logistics. The Marketing Working Group is excited over the positive sponsorship response. Some discussion of the GPF .5 event and ARIN's social being open to NANOG attendees. Patrick committed to speak with Josh on the matter.

    Sylvie reports that the network was in process. Mike Lucking (telx) has confirmed that their selected provider will wire up the hotel and it is on track to be tested and completed in time for the conference. They will be absorbing the nontrivial cost. Due to the site being new, the address was not in the LEC's provisioning database; so despite there being an obvious passing on the street we were not able to price out that option.

    Steve asks about the call for presentations, and Dave replies that it really is mostly-uniform with only a date change. He wanted to include something about the elections, but will post the initial CFP message in the next week. Dave also indicated that leading up to the meeting, he and Tom Daly are meeting every couple weeks with Susan Hamlin and mark Kosters to make sure there are no bumps, and that so far it is a non-issue.

  8. Election
    Steve acknowledges we are late off the mark. Dave related that he received many governance questions at NANOG 49, and recommends a strong push for engagement. Joe related last year's election experiences, creating a calendar and the mixed results of just assigning reminder messages to various Committee members.
  9. Scholarships
    After the mailing list issues, RS parsed though the Postel submission summaries and will send his recommendation within the next 36 hours. He has a meeting with the ARIN representative on Thursday and would like to wrap things up.
  10. Committee feedback loop
    No functional or structural issues to report by Dave or Sylvie (as PC liaison). Joe (as CC liaison) reported no structural issues and that admin traffic is the usual-to-low. The Marketing Working Group reported that the NANOG 49 vendor collaboration room seems to have worked well, and no friction with the program or over the ' open hours' occurred.
  11. Status followups
    No data for NANOG 51 (Miami).

    Regarding NANOG 52, Sylvia reported positive feedback from the Alcatel-Lucent representatives that attended NANOG 49. They were very positive on the experience and spoke to current and previous hosts at length. Joe noted that this is a great outreach effort and when we have future hosts who aren't "NANOG regulars" we should do more invites. Dave pointed out that some hosts are more engaged and involved than others, so benefit to future hosts might be varied. We briefly returned to the discussion of a past and potential host mailing list for information sharing; everyone likes to commit to documentation and no one has time.

    ARIN and Comcast have had several iterations of contracts for NANOG 53 before the Merit MoU was cancelled, so NewNOG folks need to pick up the hosting responsbilities. Sylvie and Joe will draft something to encompass the responsibilities which were under the previous Merit agreement. Sylvie and Susan Hamlin mat on-site during NANOG 49, and indicated no immediate concerns.

    Regarding future conferences, the SC had a general discussion regarding our joint meetings with ARIN. Concerns were raised that both organizations having elections at the same meeting tends to cut into program time.

  12. Server moves
    To be scheduled.
  13. Gayle memorial
    We all miss Gayle. Steve arranged for NANOG to send flowers to the memorial service.
  14. Meeting adjourned 20:34 EDT

  • 20:04
    NANOG 49 wrapup
    Early Finance Report? High attendance, sponsorships full
  • 20:05
    Survey Data, anyone looked it over?
    Sylvie: Overall positive
    Comments that Merit put on quite a smooth, professional conference
  • 20:06
    NANOG 50
    Registration open Monday (target)
    Early signs look good for sponsorship
    Network? Will we have one? [Andy: "Maybe" :-]
    - Andy spoke to Michael Lucking, still awaiting the final contract from
    fiber provider - Confident everything is in line to complete in time
    - Still waiting on final positive permission from hotel to trench into
    hotel & use risers
  • 20:09
    Hotel logistics
    Tuesday night guest room shortage
    - Apparently another conf in town (Quicky Mart?)
    - Second, we completed this "way back when" Tuesday was the end, so
    block requested was lower - Will tell people to get rooms early, and
    why, perhaps give list of other hotels in area Questions about whether
    we should tell people why it is better to register in advance - We can,
    but most people don't seem to care :(
  • 20:15
    Content
    Dave: Slow start, but confident it will work out
  • 20:15
    In person meetings
    Wednesday night dinner + Thursday morning breakfast (to pick PC), so
    stick around in ATL Also remind candidates about that as well
    Tuesday afternoon de-briefing with Marketing WG works well too
  • 20:18
    Increasing on-site reg fee
    Highest level ($600) registrations were 150
    - Adds extra stress ("and excitement")
    - Do now know how many were on-site, but guess it was 30-50
    - Would be much easier if they registered even a couple days in advance
    + Things like room setups, etc.
    Sylvie: Why so many walk ins? Was it because they did not require a
    hotel room? - Steve: Probably, coworkers did exactly that
    Steve: Anyone opposed to a $75 increase to on-site registration fee?
    (Silence.) - SC Unanimously agrees this is acceptable
  • 20:29
    Dave: Comments on the Wednesday program
    There has been friction in the past, trying to avoid that
    Mostly ARIN-style presentations, like IPv6
    - This is because registry people will be attending Wed morning
    session, so need it to be relevant
  • 20:32
    Election
    Many logistics, such as recruiting for Joe's slot, asking patrick & RS
    if they plan to re-stand, etc. Steve will send an announcement out with
    the timeline
    Questions about joint elections with NewNOG
  • 20:37
    Scholarships
    Steve heard from RS he has approval to award the scholarship to the selectee
  • 20:38
    Committees
    Any interesting news from PC or CC?
    Mike: "We are in our quiet happy place"
    Dave: Discussing how to deal with people who do not want their slides
    published - Sylvie: Are we still asking people to sign waivers?
    - Dave: No, we only ask during the submission tool to video record the
    speaker, nothing about presentation documentation
  • 20:41
    Status Followups (future meetings)
    N51: Florida: No issues
    N52: Ways to deal with 52 being discussed between Sylvie & Andy
