The '''[[North American Network Operators Group]] (NANOG)''' is an educational and operational forum dedicated to promoting discussions between individuals about the development, maintenance and operation of Internet Protocol networks.

ICANNWiki would like to welcome [[Göran Marby]] to ICANN!On 8 February 2016, [[ICANN]] announced that it has selected Göran Marby to succeed [[Fadi Chehadé]], who is stepping down on March 15, 2016. We believe that Göran brings a great skill set to ICANN that will be instrumental in taking the [[IANA Transition]] across the finish line and further empowering the global multistakeholder model. Marby will step into the CEO position in May 2016. [[Akram Atallah]] will take the position of interim CEO between Chehadé's departure and Marby's onboarding. Akram has experience holding the interim CEO position from the gap between [[Rod Beckstrom]]'s and [[Fadi Chehadé]]'s terms.

 

It was founded by [[Elise Gerich]] and Mark Knopper in 1994. It was developed from the [[NSFNET|National Science Foundation  Network]]'s (NSFNET) Regional Techs Meeting. The original funding for NANOG was provided by the [[NSF|National Science Foundation]] (NSF) as part of the NSFNET Backbone Service and the Routing Arbiter projects of Merit Network, Inc. with NSF.  

 

'''NANOG 66''' is being held from 8-10 February, 2016 in San Diego, California.
