Hello NANOGers!

We are once again approaching the annual NANOG election and appointment time. In addition to the Call for Nominations 
message, the following is an overview and timeline of the actual election process. We encourage those in the community 
who are not currently NANOG Members to consider becoming one and to consider standing for a position within our 
leadership. Through membership and voting, you will be an active participant in directing all NANOG activities.

Only NANOG members are eligible to vote and serve in the 2014 election process. Go to 
https://www.nanog.org/membership/join to become a Member.

If you care about NANOG and think you would like to take a turn at volunteering your time to help make it better please 
consider joining as a member and running for a position. If you know someone else that you believe would be interested, 
nominate them by completing the Online Process at https://www.bigpulse.com/97752/signin.   Any questions should be 
submitted to elections () nanog org.

As NANOG continues to evolve, our Committees will continue to play an increasingly important role in our success. By 
joining now, you can be an integral part of the process.

For more information about the role of any Committee, or to find out more about what's involved in being a Committee 
member, please consult the current NANOG Bylaws or follow the links above to the Committee Member Responsibilities 
documents.

Michael K. Smith
