This sounds like the list may be updated if any of the remaining persons
eventually consent to have their information published. If this is correct,
then how long is the board going to wait or what is the time frame given to
the remaining persons?

If otherwise, a clarification of the above may be necessary.

[Community-Discuss] SAFNOG-4 + EANOG, tzNOG & TISPA Call for Papers!

2018-07-04 Thread Mark Tinka
Hello all.

The SAFNOG-4/EANOG/tzNOG Programme Committee are now seeking
contributions for Presentations and Tutorials for the
SAFNOG-4/EANOG/tzNOG 2018 Conference.

We are looking for presenters who would:

    - Offer a technical tutorial on an appropriate topic;
    - Participate in the technical conference sessions as a speaker;
    - Convene and chair panel sessions of relevant topics.

    *Conference Milestones*
    Call for Papers Opens Now
    Draft Program Published As papers are
confirmed
    Final Deadline for Submissions    10 September, 2018  
    Final Program Published 17 September, 2018
    Final Slides Received  21 September,
2018

NOTE THAT REGARDLESS OF DEADLINES, SLOTS ARE FILLED ON A FIRST COME,
FIRST SERVED BASIS

*Program Material*

The SAFNOG-4/EANOG/tzNOG Conference Programme consists of two parts,
these being the Tutorials and Conference Tracks.

Topics proposed must be relevant to Internet Operations and Technologies:

    - IPv4 / IPv6 Routing and Operations
    - IPv6 deployment and transition technologies
    - Internet backbone operations
    - ISP and Carrier services
    - IXPs and Peering
    - Research on Internet Operations and Deployment
    - Software Defined Networking / Network Function Virtualisaton
    - Network security issues (NSP-SEC, DDoS, Anti-Spam, Anti-Malware)
    - DNS / DNSSEC
    - Internet policy (Security, Regulation, Content Management,
Addressing, etc)
    - Access and Transport Technologies, including Cable/DSL, LTE/5G,
wireless, metro ethernet, fibre, segment routing
    - Content & Service Delivery (Multicast, Voice, Video,
"telepresence", Gaming) and Cloud Computing

*CfP Submissions*

Draft slides for both tutorials and conference sessions MUST be provided
with CfP submissions otherwise the Programme Committee will be unable to
review the submission. For avoidance of doubt this means that
submissions which do not include slides will be rejected immediately.
For work in progress, the most current information available at time of
submission is acceptable.

All draft and complete slides must be submitted in PDF format only

Final slides are to be provided by the specified deadline for
publication on the SAFNOG-4/EANOG/tzNOG websites.

Prospective presenters should note that the majority of speaking slots
will be filled well before the final submission deadline. The PC may, at
their discretion, retain a limited number of slots up to the final
submission deadline for presentations that are exceptionally timely,
important, or of critical operational importance. Every year we turn
away submissions, due to filling up all available programme slots before
the deadline. Presenters should endeavour to get material into the PC
sooner rather than later.

Any questions or concerns should be addressed to the Programme Committee
by e-mail at:

    *pc-chairs at safnog.org*

We look forward to receiving your presentation proposals.

Cheers,

Mark Tinka

Hi 

 

it’s reassuring that we got a good and extensive list of candidates to pick 
from.  I wish all the best of luck and I’m sure the board will make the right 
choices.

 

Looking forward to moving positively ahead of the challenges of the past and 
continuing on the journey of building our organization to serve the wider 
community.

 

Regards

 

Badru
