Re: NANOG 20 Meeting Information -- Registration Open

[Carol Wadsworth <carolw () merit edu>]

Kai,

There are many rooms still available in the NANOG room
block.  The hotel is only sold out on the first day
(Saturday, October 21).  Due to that, I cannot increase the
room block for that day.  If you call the hotel directly,
they will make other recommendations in the immediate area
for lodging that night.
