NANOG Community,
I am excited to announce that 34 NANOG members accepted appointments to a
committee. So many highly-qualified volunteers from the NANOG membership
were nominated for this year’s committee selection, and we personally thank
each NANOG member who offered their time.
As an organization, NANOG was founded by volunteers who developed a quality
forum for North America’s operator community. Despite the growth in NANOG’s
programs, volunteers greatly outnumber professional staff. The
volunteer-only committees drive many of the ideas for growth and
development in the organization and community as a whole.
Please join me in congratulating the appointed committee members:
Audit Committee
Tom Beecher, Jason Bothe, Stevan Plote, and Charles Rumford
Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee
Jon Eikel, Moira Johnson, Toni Kalombo, Tina Morris, and Yingzhen Qu
Education Committee
Hosein Badran and Paul Emmons
Elections Committee
Fearghas McKay and Chris Rogers
Hackathon Committee
Aaron Atac, Kate Gerry, Ryan Hamel, Toni Kalombo, Fearghas McKay,
Dhairyasheel Patil, Aaron Roth, Charles Rumford, Steve Ulrich, and Chris
Woodfield
Mentorship Committee
Jon Eikel, Darrell Newcomb, Ivo Pascucci, Justin Ryburn, Matt Petach, and
Wendy Leedy
Program Committee
Nagendra Nainar, Krassimir Tzvetanov, John Brown, Elizabeth Culley, Kate
Gerry, Alex Latzko, Fearghas McKay, Steve Meuse, Yingzhen Qu, Arul Sekar,
Steve Ulrich, and Jeffrey Zhang
We are truly excited to see what develops for NANOG over the next year
working with these volunteers.
Please also join me in thanking and recognizing the many contributions of
committee alumni who have termed out:
Audit Committee
Alan Hannan
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee
Evan Breznyik and Marcus Holt
Education Committee
Alex Bortok, Ron Kovac, and Reddy Urmindi
Elections Committee
Calin Miculescu, Mauricio Rodriguez, Inga Turner, and Leo Vegoda
Mentorship Committee
Ron Grant, Edward McNair, and Reddi Urmindi
Program Committee
Melchior Aelmans, Kam Agahian, Aaron Atac, Jason Bothe, Marcus Holt, Manish
Krishnan, John Kristoff, Charles Rumford, James Shank, Mike Starr, and
Chris Woodfield
Volunteer participation from these members on NANOG committees developed
new programs, brought new ideas and new methods into practice, and helped
to evolve the NANOG organization. We would not be where we are without
their time and contributions.
We look forward to continuing working together to build the Internet of
tomorrow, and hope to see you at a NANOG conference soon!
Sincerely,
Valerie Wittkop
