As you'd be able to see from the last set of SC minutes (if I had  
remembered to send them to Merit to publish on the web page before  
just now) Merit are currently user-testing a new registration system  
which has features that are required to facilitate voting in October.

I don't remember knowing what the original timeline for rollout of  
that system was, but given the general background business of Merit's  
NANOG people I would not be surprised to find out that it had slipped  
from the original target date.

One of the goals of the new system (IIRC) was to make it easier to  
reuse code for different meetings, which (IIIDRC) ought to make slips  
less likely in the future.

So no, as far as I know registration has not filled up, and is not  
open yet, and you can ask nanog-support at nanog.org for the official word.
