Thank you, Jim for your hard work and many years in this role. It’s probably one of the more demand set of users you could encounter and the NOC always pulls through with a strong network for our meetings to the point where other conferences have learned it’s helpful to follow us with their meeting venue selections.
Thank you! Kathleen Sent from my mobile device +1
And as someone else who has seen behind the scenes and helped out in the NOC several times, Jim's leadership in the NOC has drawn a great team of professionals that make the all magic occur.. Someone has big shoes to fill.
Jim, thanks for the memories, best wishes for your future endeavors, and we will miss you. 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
