Hello Everyone:>
We are very happy to report the next steps in the evolution of NANOG are
underway. We welcome your support and feed-back.
The new NANOG charter is available at:
http://www.nanog.org/charter.html
changes in the new charter include:
Section 5: added a parenthetical clause so the text now reads: "Anyone who
has registered for a NANOG meeting in the previous two years (as of the
opening date of voting) may vote in any matter which comes before the
community for a vote."
Section 6: moved two sentences to section 6.3: "No action may be taken by
the committee unless at least four members of the committee are present.
Those items on which the Steering Committee votes will be decided by
absolute majority."
Section 6.2.1 - old version: "Because a large Program Committee will be
better able to handle the heavy workload, the Program Committee will
consist of 16 members (plus one member appointed by Merit)."
New version: "The Program Committee will consist of 16 members appointed by
the Steering Committee plus one member appointed by Merit."

The candidates for the Steering Committee are:
