In our upcoming board election, we have four candidates for four open seats. As one of those candidates, I'd like to think that this is because everybody really wants to vote for us, but the most I can really hope for is that being on the board sounds like a lot of work and nobody objects to us strongly enough to want to volunteer. I humbly suggest that the folks in office should take a strong hand in drumming up candidates. Especially as they will know what sort of skills will be needed for what's on the horizon. I presume it is still similar, but when I was SC Chair, homework during the election period for all committee members was recruiting volunteers and participating in a schedule rotation of notices to mail to get different names in the nanog-announce mail stream. I'm sure there are better methods of spreading the load. For the Program Committee, which makes NANOG conferences what they are, the shortage is far worse. We have seven open seats and four candidates. ...and the nomination period is still open. ISTR that many nominations roll in during the meeting, when the drumbeating continues. It seems pretty clear that the incentive structures we have now aren't working. Those arguing here that they'd be volunteering without any further incentives are not currently volunteering, and neither are very many other people. See previous paragraphs. How much outreach to new blood, or to people who ran before, has occured? Simply contacting those who ran before, but hadn't served and still had and interest built up a nice slate of solid candidates in years past. I did notice that in the change to AMS, we no longer have the membership list published, so it is hard for us on the outside to know who is eligible to be nominated. There are many likely causes of this. Partly, I think we have some volunteer fatigue. There's been a whole lot of work, done by a whole lot of people, over the last couple of years to get the new organization off the ground and to keep the old one running, and a lot of those people would be quite justified in being burned out. But if NANOG is going to go on, we need to get people to So, what do we do? I'm not convinced that allowing people to do large amounts of work towards putting on the conference in lieu of paying meeting fees would create a privileged class of participants. If anything, getting to simply pay meeting fees and show up seems like a relative bargain, and charging people to attend an event they've helped to produce seems tacky. But, given that a lot of peoples' employers pay their meeting fees anyway, and might value their employees' time more than they'd value the savings on meeting fees, I'm not sure how many new people it would get us. Observations: - encoding in the bylaws is micromanagement we've sought to avoid previously - blanket 'perks' regardless of level of participation are eventually abused - SC chair [and PC chair?] have had some discretion in doling out at least one comp registration per meeting - hardship and reward [as you suggest] from the chairs is a logical extension of such discretion ...so if anything must be codified, IMO it should be that the Chairs have the ability to waive registration fees for committee members as they see fit. Then no only do you incentive to volunteer, but ongoing incentive to actually produce. Ideally, we'll get a flood of volunteers in the next few days, and this issue will become moot. I started asking around yesterday for a volunteer to replace me as Membership Chair, and within minutes had found somebody bursting with ideas and eager to take on the role. I'd love to see some people who would show that level of excitement towards the NANOG program. Excellent way to demonstrate that outreach is key. But if that doesn't happen, I'm looking for ideas. Are free or discounted conference fees for volunteers the right answer? Is there some other incentive that would work better? Are there people we should be reaching out to and trying to recruit who we haven't? Ideas, please. See above for a minor adjustment that might meet this need. Also: - At least the membership should see the member list to know who to poke (behind a member portal is there is paranoia about publishing member names). - While that is presently out of reach, more visible outreach by those on the inside who *do* know. - What plans/campaigns have the Board generated/received from our staff (if any) and why were they rejected.

If we didn't, $reallybadthings were completely certain, and anyone who doubted it was not in the know. Note the outdated doc here, which is all we appear to have to go on: https://newnog.org/docs/budget-2010-08.pdf cited a figure of $20,000.00 for 2011 for memberships fees. Not far off, there are 210 names here: https://newnog.org/members.php plus some extra years, but say $30,000.00 for 2011. I think you may be having a memory problem. The reason it was absolutely critical that the $100/member fee be implemented was 1) cash flow (we didn't have any, and we needed to cash to do stupid, self-serving things like putting down hotel deposits) and 2) to help identify membership in a way that would be acceptable to the IRS (and everyone else) for tax-exempt status. There has also been an unanticipated but totally positive impact - the membership fee has helped to instill a sense of ownership in the organization. Of course, sometimes that sense of ownership manifests itself in a really nasty way, but that's life, I guess. Now looking at the lists under the Governance heading here: http://www.nanog.org/ I see 33 committee members, depending on changing members and whether you include the Board. So assuming all these folks are completely incented by this move (and why not?), you propose to forgo the $1275.00 (3x$425.00 Early Bird Member Registration Fee) revenue each (they are all currently paying, right)? 33 X $1,275.00 = $42,075.00 per year. Although I find your tone offensive and your implications ugly, your numbers are correct. Seriously? Plus, and I mean this in the nicest possible way, and I am sure that the Program Committee list here: http://www.nanog.org/governance/program/programcommittee.php is either incorrect or that you will be leaving the committee structure soon enough that you will not personally benefit from this proposal, BUT the _appearance_ of a committee member proposing this suggests the _faintest_possible_appearance_ of impropriety to me. I am sure that I am a profoundly disturbed individual for even thinking this way, but just sayin'. The committee/board membership is such a big chunk of the overall membership (as it should be) that disqualifying them from making proposals that could impact them financially seems ridiculous on the face of it. However, I do agree that you appear to be profoundly disturbed. If, in fact, the difficulties of staffing the committees require action, may we please discuss that matter on a list? Oh, I guess we are! Or has the discussion already taken place in camera and this proposal is the result? If you are the authorized spokesperson for the NANOG/NewNog structure proposing this, then I withdraw my innuendo of impropriety and extend my apology. in camera - wow, how dramatic! I'll have to use that one. There are no authorized spokesperson for the NANOG/NewNog structure - but if we need someone, I suggest we hire the ex-Iraqi Information Minister. That guy is really good. And as far as innuendo - you realize that innuendo requires some degree of subtlety, right? But the whole thing seems a bit off to me. John Springer I can't believe it, but I do agree that this is probably a bad idea. Not because I don't trust the integrity of Dave Temkin - on the contrary, he's a standup guy, widely admired in the Internetworking community.
