I'm squinting at the Guidebook for NANOG69,
and I don't seem to see any peering BOF or
peering social this time around. Am I being
blind again, and it's on the agenda somewhere
but I'm just overlooking it?
Pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks!

On that same topic, Peering, I would like to see the green peering dot
for name badges.
Kind of "one" of the fundamental things that NANOG came into existing over.
Thank You

The Peering Personals has been shelved while we try to figure out a better option.
There was no peering content submitted to the Program Committee that justified a separate track, and so they chose to include the content in the general session throughout the program.

The peering social at previous NANOG meetings has been excellent and
very useful. As you mentioned, the peering personals are perhaps not
as valuable. It would be great to see the social portion come back in
some form.

Someone will need to volunteer and organize this track just like others. It
has been challenging to find content. Topic can be contraversial and of
course people might not want to always speak as open as they should in
order to make the time useful.
I have really liked peering bof personally from many years ago where it
provided a great platform to speak. I will volunteer to organize peering
bof in nanog 70 and present it to PC's consideration as it seems some folks
want to see that back including myself

I suggest in the future NOT to get rid of something because a new method
is attempted. I.E nanog had a nice method of identifying potential and
existing peers with a simple green dot at registration to indicate an
individual was involved with BGP in their company. That went away and
today there is nothing. Cost of implementation was less than 5 dollars at
any office supply retailer.
Just a thought.
Thank You

Hi Bob,
This was inadvertent and we will bring this back for NANOG 70.

I would like to see the session continue in some form.
Social was close to good.
The peering presentations weren't as useful to me personally.
They sometimes made the time for actual peering conversations
too short.
The extra food and drinks were not important to me personally.
...
Perhaps an "extended break" 45 minutes, with typical
break food, and no presentations. Or if you want, a *silent*
rolling slide show on a screen, with 1-slide per submitter,
for peering news items or general peering requests...
Cheaper... quieter... shorter... But having all the people
in the same room at the same time for the same purpose, usually
pretty useful.
2 cents,
John Kemp
Thank you, that's great feedback and great ideas.
