Following the tremendous success of the inaugural South Eastern Europe (SEE)/RIPE NC Regional Meeting in 2011 in Dubrovnik, we are now planning to hold a follow-up meeting in the region, this time in Skopje, Macedonia. These regional meetings offer network engineers and other technical staff an opportunity to share their knowledge and experience, and to identify areas for regional cooperation. The meetings are open to anyone and there is no cost to attend. The purpose of the meeting is to: * Encourage the cooperation of operators in the region, enabling them to exchange information and discuss the issues that affect them * Enable the RIPE NCC to further support Local Internet Registries (LIRs) in the region. * Present the latest developments in the Internet industry. SEE 2 runs from 22-23 April 2013 in Skopje, Macedonia. The meeting agenda will consist of plenary sessions, tutorials, hands-on workshops as well as long coffee breaks, lunches, and evening social events with plenty of time for attendees to meet each other face-to-face. The SEE Programme Committee (PC) is currently looking for network operators and researchers in South East Europe who would like to teach a technical tutorial or lead a workshop and/or give a technical presentation during the conference. Submission topics include (but are not limited to): * IPv6 (in general) * BGP and routing * Network management and monitoring (BSS/OSS/NMS) * Internet exchanges * DNS/DNSSEC/IDN * Policy and regulatory aspects Presentation proposals can be submitted here: <http://papers.apia.org/paper/user/index.php?event=15> Conference Milestones * Call for Papers opens: 19 November 2012 * Deadline for first proposal: 21 January 2013 * Deadline for second proposal: 11 February 2013 * Final programme published: 1 April 2013 * Final slides: 15 April 2013 Please note that marketing/commercial content will not be considered.
