CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
The NANOG Best Current Operational Practices Working Group is seeking
volunteers to take part in the creation of official best practices
documents. We are also looking for a co-Chairman to assist NANOG WG,
Chair Aaron Hughes. The goal of the BCOP-WG is to produce professional
Best Practices documents that can be used globally by the network
engineering community. The NANOG BCOP-WG works together with other
operator forums, ARIN, and ISOC. The NANOG organization will support
the BCOP-WG through professional resources, web sites, meeting space,
and financial support.
A mailing list is being set up and an organizational meeting will
occur at NANOG 57 in Orlando in February 2013. Some areas for BCOP
development include:
- Address Assignment
- Routing Protocol implementation
- Routing Policy
- Network Security Policy
- Network Deployment
- DNS Operations
- and more!
Please volunteer if you are able to devote some time to the effort and
have a willingness to write and edit BCOP documents. The plan is to
publish numerous official BCOP documents each year with significant
professional exposure for authors and editors. This is a great way to
get involved in the NANOG organization, to develop yourself
professionally, and to serve the larger Internet community.
If interested, please reply to betty@nanog.org.
