Based on information at MERIT's website, its tolate to submit
a resentation. In addition such presentations must be finalized
and the slides approved by Merit no later than 30-Sep.
Its important to note that the second requirement isn't publicly
stated. I did receive email from Dr. Harris, that my two approved
presentations
Flotsam and Jetsam of the Net, a study at junk on the net.
and
IANA Running a IRR for IANA-Reserved space
(a presentation supported by the IANA)
have now been canceled because of this unknown 30-Sep requirement.
I've appealed to Dr. Harris's management on the issue. They
should have published the schedules better. I should know more
soon.
Merit handles NANOG meetings, like it handles network security.
