Hi folks, since the call for presentations for the plenary sessions of RIPE 70 on May 18--22 in Amsterdam (https://ripe69.ripe.net) is already out (see https://ripe70.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) we'd like to ask anyone interested in doing "anything" (presentation or whatever else, I'll just write "presentation" from here on) during the working group session to send us your proposal. A couple of notes about the procedure: - There is no formal submission mechanism as with the plenary/program committee. Just drop a mail to ipv6-wg-chairs@ripe.net and if we have any questions we'll contact you. - We're interested in pretty much anything related to IPv6, including deployment, operation, further development and whatever you think might be of interest to the working group. - If you're unsure about proposing your presentation to the plenary or the IPv6 working group, I suggest you submit it to the plenary through the link mentioned above and send us an e-mail in parallel; that way we have a better chance to make sure that topics too esoteric for the plenary may actually find their niche in the working group, rather than being lost forever. - What we do need are: - Your name and (at least) e-mail address - The (preliminary) title of your presentation - A (preliminary) abstract (a paragraph or two) - A short bio of yours - The time you roughly expect to need <=== IMPORTANT:-) - Whatever questions you have - We need to have an idea how much time we need for the working group session, so we can request an additional time slot from the NCC if needed. So please, send us at least a preliminary draft as soon as possible; you can always polish your proposal up afterwards. - And, as Filiz pointed out in the call for presentations for the plenary: "Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings."
