Just to add to this, I can say that internally our community team is excited to see the commitment put forth on this proposal. It's possibly the fastest we've seen a proposal go to commitment organically, thanks mostly to Jeremy Stretch's cheerleading.
There's a bit of divide among the ServerFault community about whether NE should exist; many of the SF users feel like network engineering falls under systems administration and that's why there's a bit of contention on Area51 about the proposal. It is my understanding that we will not permit the proposal to be closed this near to beta--all it needs is the aforementioned high-rep users. If any of you happen to have high stackoverflow rep (or rep on any other stackexchange site), that rep carries over into Area51 -- please commit to the proposal if you think you'll get any benefit out of the site. I'm solidly in the camp of "let them have their time to shine" -- I know I personally have a few network questions that I'd love to put forth to pure network engineers.
