[Nanog-futures] Admission for Committee Members

[dave at temk.in (David Temkin)]

On the flip side of this, many of our employers donate "our" time that they
are paying us for in order for us to serve NANOG with nary a benefit.  If
you take just committee calls for the PC alone, this is 48 hours a year - a
workweek.  Perhaps they should feel that this donation nets them something.

is why I suggested the BoD would have the authority to waive the fee if
recommended by someone else. The reason is less important to me honestly.
