A discussion was held with Tom Zeller regarding Net Gurus and how to have more interaction with campuses. Cas D'Angelo will be NTAC liaison to Net Gurus and Matt Davy and David Farmer attend both NTAC and Net Gurus so these connections will allow communication between the two groups.
2. Internet2 Update
Chris Robb mentioned that there hasn't been much activity during the past month due to the holidays. There was a surge prior to the break and it may have been students generating traffic prior to leaving for the holiday break. The Houston MX960 installation occurred successfully. The Kansas City router swap will occur next week. UNM's is no longer a connector and their traffic will come through UEN.

The AOAC held one call in December on the 9th. Cas D'Angelo, incoming NTAC Vice Chair, reviewed a document created by the NTAC at the request of the AOAC regarding MPLS and Sonet in the Internet2 backbone. The AOAC continued their discussion with Internet2 staff regarding additional connector fee options. Between the 11 November AOAC call and he December 9th call, George Loftus and David Lois, AOAC chair and vice chair, participated in community discussions, including three connector and network member calls, regarding the connector fee options. George Loftus also reported that the fee options were presented to the Internet2 Board and he indicated that the Board will hold an electronic vote during early January on the fee options.
