The call started at 1:05pm Eastern. The purpose of this call was to welcome the newly elected PC members, determine the PC structure for the next year, introduce the PC tool, set expectations for new PC members, and to continue program brainstorming for NANOG 51. 

Dave Meyer, as the call leader, welcomed everyone to the call, including the new PC members. Next, the organizational structure of PC for the next year was discussed, since the PC is a self organizing committee under the NANOG by-laws.
