Re: Next NANOG meeting/stats

[Kurt Erik Lindqvist <kurtis () kurtis pp se>]

None of the below events are related to network operations. Nordnog is.

If these are the dates that Nanog goes for, I assume that Nordnog will 
have to reschedule. Nanog is large enough to attract people from all 
over the world and the scheduling of Nanog influences a lot of peoples 
agendas.
