[109all] Welcome to IETF 109

Welcome to IETF 109, hosted by Cisco.  We are expecting well over 1,000 attendees! 

In addition to Cisco, there are quite a few sponsors who have stepped up to support IETF 109.  Thank you to our Gold Sponsor Huawei, and to our Diversity and Inclusivity Silver Sponsor, Fastly.  Thanks to Cisco, Google and Futurewei who have supported our fee waiver program, making it possible for anyone to participate in IETF 109.  And as always, a special thanks to our equipment sponsors Cisco and Juniper.

To help you get the most from this meeting, you will find below a table of useful reference information.

This 109all list is used for administrative announcements by the IETF Chair, the Secretariat, the NOC, and myself, the IETF Executive Director.  It will be used sparingly.

Again, welcome and have a productive meeting.
