Re: MICE 2019 Board Election

by Richard Laager

I am running for re-election. My platform is primarily to continue the path we're on: MICE is maturing / has matured, and if re-elected, I'd like to keep working on issues related to that. My focus has been and likely would remain on handling administrative issues, some boring / some not. My main goal for my current board term was to sort out our non-profit status with the IRS. While that took longer than we might have liked due to the question of how we should be classified, I consider that project to have been a success. We have a normalized non-profit status with the IRS. The differences between 501(c)(6) and 501(c)(12) for us are minimal. While I can't take the credit for it, the next big hurdle was the port fees. With port fees in place, we are now in a much more sustainable financial position. These were the "big ticket" items, and they're now behind us, but there is still ongoing administrative work. Where applicable, I try to utilize a continuous improvement process, making small tweaks over time as issues arise. For example, I have worked on improving our Order Form. A project that is still on my plate is the insurance issue, which is actively moving forward again. There's a realistic chance that will be resolved by the October meeting / the end of my current board term. Looking forward, I would like to continue to streamline our meetings. We also need to implement some solution to the "quorum problem": the MICE membership has grown while UG attendance is relatively consistent. The next 3 years will likely involve many networks upgrading from 10G to 100G, which could present issues to be solved (e.g. needing more ports and/or adjusting port fees). The impending launch of various new streaming services will be interesting for the industry as a whole, but could result in new content participants joining MICE, more traffic being moved across MICE, and/or an increased desire for reliability/redundancy/diversity in the MICE core. I believe MICE is well positioned to meet these challenges. -- Richard

MICE 2019 Board Election

by Richard Laager

The MICE board consists of three directors with staggered 3-year terms. One position is up for election each year at our fall meeting. This year's fall meeting, UG 33, will be held on October 16 at the 511 Building. The current seat up for election is the one that I hold. At this time, the board would like to open nominations. If you or someone you know is interested in running, please reply on the MICE-DISCUSS list or contact any board member. Nominations will close September 30th. -- Richard

I'm sure the plant guys already plan on that too. This area has received over 20" of rain in the last month so we're very saturated here which contributed to the washout.

Much better picture Ben. I didn't feel like climbing down there ha. Hopefully the permanent fix involves boring on the other side of the road where it doesn't have a chance of washing out again.

Re: SFN Remote Outage

by Ben Wiechman

It is Arvig fiber. The road was washed out in at least three locations, with no available culverts or other options to push the fiber across the road in order to get the fiber repaired last night. The conditions were unsafe so we prepped as much as we could before dark and resumed splicing as soon as possible this morning. We are sorry for the impact, but needed to consider the safety of our crews on this one.

Current ETR is 7:30pm tonight so roughly 29 hours after the outage started. I've confirmed it's Arvig fiber, not zayo.

The word is that the road the fiber is on has washed out west of Rochester. On Mon, Jul 22, 2019, 3:33 PM Darin Steffl <darin.steffl(a)mnwifi.com> wrote: > It was 2:35pm to be exact.
