Elections for three of the six elected positions on the NANOG Steering  
Committee will be held in October, 2010, for two-year terms ending in  
October, 2012.

turn at volunteering your time to help make it better, please consider  
either volunteering yourself or nominating someone else.

already serving and ask them directly.
