NTAC Peering Working Group

["Spears, Christopher M." <>]

Hello! 
 Re-issuing this as a call for content and/or presenters for a Peering & 
Routing FTW.   There was a good amount of interest on the mailing list in 
August, and our next step is to get the curriculum developed.   Is there an 
area you’re interested in?  Already have content prepared on a topic area?   
Enjoy instructing, or just wish to contribute? 

Please let me know if you’re interested in contributing.
Regards,
Chris
