I fully agree with Bob and would like to add my thanks as well. Having seen a fair share of what goes on "behind the scenes" (literally and figuratively) I have a great deal of respect for how Jim has handled some very difficult (at times) "customers," including myself :-) While never established formally as an education and training ground, the NOC has been that and more, and now would be a great time to think about ways in which we can continue to support this tradition. I am sorry that I won't be in Prague to give Jim a proper "send-off," but I am sure he will be attending future IETFs where I can do that in person. Ole Ole J.
