Re: [Nanog-futures] Admission for Committee Members

I gave discretion to two people in the below wording: the committee chair and 
the board. My example was hardship but certainly not limited there. The wording 
is vague on purpose :-) it allows for discretion.

My suggestion would be something more along the lines of:

"The Board may waive registration fees for a committee member at their 
discretion and the request of the committee chair."

This allows those that may have some hardship to be individually dealt with and 
can be either needs or merit based.

The COOP that my children went to pre-school at had a similar 
hardship/participation guideline where they could waive the monthly payments 
for parents that had some hardship.  It was merit/needs based and the one case 
I was aware the person pulled more than their fair share of weight and was 
recommended by the teacher.

I would also think that this number should likely be reported (names not 
attached) as part of the post-meeting reports.  "Number of registration fees 
waived by BoD: 2"

So, a few private replies later, and I do want to clarify myself somewhat. 

Nanog surely is a community that can help respond and recover from network 
events, and further progress to legitimize the group as a real entity will help 
fulfill that. 

Think of nanog certified ISPs that prefix filter their customers as well as 
bcp38 packet filters. 

Better than regulation IMHO.

One thing that was always frustrating (As a SC member) was that the "active 
community" could be defined as SC+PC+MLC(CC)+Small set of people.

This was clearly seen in voter turnout numbers each fall.

Considering the comments by Don, I assume the vote in the SC was not unanimous

I would be keen to see this restriction put in-place, but unless you  
are hosting the meeting and picking the venue, it may be challenging.   
I encourage you to complain to the elected reps in Michigan about your  
experience here and how you never want to return until a non-smoking  
law is passed.

I enjoy visiting many states with such a law, but Michigan has not  
seen fit to adopt one yet.

It should also be noted that the event in the DR was as bad or worse  
than the venue in Dearborn as you had to pass through the casino to  
reach the meeting space.

This is an interesting idea.  The next SC meeting is in another  
week.  As mentioned before, I'm certain this topic will be discussed.   
Coming up on ~4 years total on the SC, it's been a recurring issue.   
I'm certain it will not be solved overnight.

I suspect that's a bit too purist.  there are other things
that have implications to operations, eg: Calea politics and reality
may make operations folks do things differently.  I'm not suggesting
that nanog be a forum for lobbying the various governments in the region,
but we don't operate in a vacuum either.
