[116-newparticipants] experienced IETF guides are here to help you understand the IETF

[Wes Hardaker <[e-mail]>]

Greetings all,

Though you have received information about the IETF guides program in
previous messages, I thought offer one last call for anyone that wants
to be assigned an IETF guide to help understand the ways of the IETF
better if this is your first conference (or one of your first few).

To request a guide start with this website:

https://guides.ietf.org/guides/request_guide

More information from the guides FAQ:

What is the IETF Guides Program?

The goal of the IETF Guides Program is to match experienced IETF
participants with newer participants in order to aid their integration
into the IETF community through advice, help, and collected wisdom. The
assistance provided by the guides should speed up the time it takes for
new participants to become active, contributing members of the IETF.

Many new IETF participants are very experienced network engineers, but
they may still find being new to the IETF poses a learning curve. Even
if you have been involved in the networking industry for many years, if
you are new to the IETF you may benefit from an IETF guide.

What is an IETF guide?

A guide plays the role of advisor, coach, and teacher. The combination
of roles allows a guide to assist a new IETF participant in developing
the skills needed to participate effectively within the IETF standards
process and the IETF culture.
