Requests to schedule Working Group sessions should be submitted using the "IETF Meeting Session Request Tool," a Web-based tool for submitting all of the information required by the Secretariat to schedule your sessions. The URL for the tool is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/secr/sreq/ Instructions for using the tool are available at: http://www.ietf.org/wg/request-tool-instructions.html If you require an account on this tool, or assistance in using it, then please send a message to [email protected]. If you are unable to use the tool, then you may send your request via e-mail to [email protected], with a copy to the appropriate Area Director(s). Requests to schedule BOF sessions must be sent to [email protected] with a copy to the appropriate Area Director(s). When submitting a BOF session request by e-mail, please include the BOF acronym in the Subject line. 2. BOFs will NOT be scheduled unless the Area Director approves the BOF. The proponents behind a BOF need to contact a relevant Area Director, preferably well in advance of the BOF approval deadline date. The AD needs to have the full name of the BOF, its acronym, suggested names of chairs, an agenda, full description of the BOF and the information covered in item 4. Please read RFC 5434 for instructions on how to drive a successful BOF effort. 3. You MUST provide the following information before a BOF session will be scheduled: a. BOF full name with acronym in brackets: b. AREA under which the BOF appears: c. CONFLICTS you wish to avoid, please be as specific as possible: d. Expected Attendance: e. Special requests: f. Number of sessions: g. Length of session: 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 2.5 hours For more information on scheduling Working Group and BOF sessions, please refer to RFC 2418 (BCP 25), "IETF Working Group Guidelines and Procedures" (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2418.txt). =============================================================== Submitting Session Agendas Please submit the agendas for your Working Group sessions as early as possible using the "IETF Meeting Materials Management Tool," a Web-based tool for making your meeting agenda, minutes, and presentation slides available to the community before, during, and after an IETF meeting. If you are a BOF chair, then you may use the tool to submit a revised agenda as well as other materials for your BOF once the BOF has been approved. The URL for the tool is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/secr/proceedings/ Additional information about this tool is available at: http://www.ietf.org/wg/meeting-materials.html Agendas submitted via the tool will be available to the public on the "IETF Meeting Materials" webpage as soon as they are submitted. The URL for the "IETF 98 Meeting Materials" Web page is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/98/materials.html If you are a Working Group chair, then you already have accounts on the "IETF Meeting Session Request Tool" and the "IETF Meeting Materials Management Tool." The same User ID and password will work for both tools. If you are a BOF chair who is not also a Working Group chair, then you will be given an account on the "IETF Meeting Materials Management Tool" when your BOF has been approved. If you require assistance in using either tool, or wish to report a bug, then please send a message to: [email protected]. =============================================================== For your convenience please find a list of the IETF Area Directors with their e-mail addresses below: IETF Chair Jari Arkko <[email protected]> Applications and Real-Time Area (art) Alissa Cooper <[email protected]> Ben Campbell <[email protected]> Alexey Melnikov <[email protected]> Internet Area (int) Suresh Krishnan <[email protected]> Terry Manderson <[email protected]> Operations & Management Area (ops) Benoit Claise <[email protected]> Joel Jaeggli <[email protected]> Routing Area (rtg) Alia Atlas <[email protected]> Deborah Brungard <[email protected]> Alvaro Retana <[email protected]> Security Area (sec) Stephen Farrell <[email protected]> Kathleen Moriarty <[email protected]> Transport Area (tsv) Spencer Dawkins <[email protected]> Mirja Kühlewind <[email protected]>
