2017 NANOG Elections General Information

[courtneysmith at comcast.net (courtneysmith at comcast.net)]

Have we considered "grooming" folks via the committees? Seems like a better place to allow folks to dip their toes in. But maybe I'm too timid.

Hi NANOG Community, 

Nominations are rapidly coming to a close - September 8th is the last day 
to submit nominees. 

Unfortunately, to follow up on my paragraph about diversity: So far, every 
single candidate that has completed the nomination process is a white male. 

Having sat in on sessions such as Women in Technology lunch, I know that 
this community is passionate about diversity. If you, or a friend, would 
like to discuss what it takes to be on the NANOG board, I or my colleagues 
would love to speak about it. 

If you're ready to enter the nomination process, you can see details below. 

Best Regards, 
-Dave Temkin, for the NANOG Board of Directors
