you may remember that steve gibbard asked to step down from the nanog mailing list admin panel. two weeks ago, the steering committee, with the ml panel, issued a call for volunteers to replace steve. the deadline was today. there were four volunteers, all of whom deserve our thanks for offering to serve, and in a difficult and rarely pleasant role at that. they were David Barak <[email protected]> Marlon Borba <[email protected]> Josh Richesin <[email protected]> Stephen Wilcox <[email protected]> the sc invited the ml panel to our semi-weekly conference call to get their input on the candidates. all ml panel attended except one. the ml panel then left the call, and the steering committee discussed qualifications in general (see appended), the candidates, the ml panel recommendations, and made our decision. stephen wilcox has been asked to serve on the ml admin panel replacing steve gibbard. stephen, thanks for volunteering. the sc, and probably nanog as a whole, deeply appreciates the willingness of all of the volunteers to serve. we hope those not chosen will come back next time. considering the onerous nature of the job, this may be sooner than we all might wish. and steve gibbard, you have been a hero. you were a calm and helpful presence in the nanog evolution process, and then worked long and patiently on the ml panel. we all really owe you deep and wide thanks for your work. randy, for the sc --- interesting and relevant excerpt from the *draft* minutes of today's sc conf call o ML Panel Candidate choice after ML Panel left call It was discussed whether the position should be filled by someone from other than North America. It was generally felt that NANOG is open to all and all should be able to be represented. All should be encouraged to participate in all committees and be judged on the merit of their contributions not where they reside. There was discussion of whether such positions should require having attended NANOG meetings, but rather be on merit and contribution to and understanding of the culture. -30-
