After the RPKI Panel: Did npNOG’s 2020 Routing-Security Moment Survive the Screen?
The official page does not, by itself, prove that entities created ROAs, deployed validation or changed production routing policy afterwards.

Two Hours Online: What npNOG’s Pandemic Experiment Changed About Access
npNOG kept a public technical programme alive on 9 December 2020 by moving it online. The official record supports a narrower achievement than the language of digital inclusion often implies: no one had to travel to a named physical event venue to join, and npNOG says more than…

Broken Dates, Empty Lists and Missing Slides: Can npNOG Preserve Its Own Memory?
npNOG’s public websites preserve a useful record of programmes, teaching materials and event continuity, but they also contain date conflicts, unfinished download promises and pages whose headings outlive their visible data. Those gaps do not prove that an event failed, a…

A decade of meetings, but where is the outcome ledger? Auditing npNOG’s institutional value
npNOG can document that it kept opening the room. Its public chronology runs from the first numbered meeting in 2016 to npNOG-11 in 2025, with a virtual programme in 2020. The archive shows workshops, conferences, fellows, committees and technical subjects. That is not trivial…

npNOG Calls Its Mailing List Open but Leaves Moderation Authority Unnamed
npNOG describes its mailing list as open, available to anyone and “sometimes moderated”. It also publishes seven content rules. What the reviewed pages do not publish is who moderates, what activates moderation, how a entity is notified or where a disputed decision goes.

Safety by Organiser Discretion: Testing npNOG’s Code of Conduct
npNOG’s published conduct policy sets a clear behavioural floor and gives organisers power to act quickly. The harder question is whether the public record makes the reporting, conflict and correction process legible without exposing the people it is meant to protect.

Seats Available: How npNOG Allocates Limited Workshop Capacity
npNOG's workshop pages reveal a simple access rule built around timing and finite seats. What that rule shows—and what the public record still cannot prove.

Five Minutes for Recognition: How Sponsor Visibility Enters npNOG’s Technical Clock
npNOG-11 put sponsor recognition on the conference clock in three five-minute blocks. That makes commercial visibility measurable. It does not, by itself, show that sponsors controlled what the technical programme said.

Who Opens the Room? npNOG, NPIX and SANOG in the npNOG-10 Ceremony
The first ten minutes of a conference can look like an org chart. At npNOG-10 in Pokhara, the [published programme](https://npnog.org.np/npnog10/programs/conference/) gave the first welcome to Rupesh Shrestha, identified there as NPIX managing director and SANOG chair. The next…

One Week, Two Institutions—and Two Edition Numbers: Untangling npNOG and SANOG-38
In July 2022, operators arriving at the Kathmandu Marriott encountered one technical week: four workshop days followed by a conference. The surviving institutional record is less unified. npNOG calls the event NPNOG-6 with SANOG-38. SANOG's contemporaneous pages called the same…

Government support without government mandate: where npNOG meets Nepal’s state
The npNOG-11 running order gave public officials distinct ceremonial, strategic, security and panel roles, while npNOG and its programme chairs retained the conference frame. That contact may be practically useful, but proximity to the state is not a transfer of state authority.

First come, seats available: the rule behind access to npNOG workshops
npNOG’s first event named a simple rule for scarce workshop places: register early. Later pages keep the scarcity but leave the queue itself out of view.

Who opens the room? What npNOG-10's welcome order can—and cannot—prove
The first twenty minutes of a conference can reveal institutional relationships. They cannot, without supporting records, tell us who held the decisive authority.
