This is a friendly reminder that preliminary proposals for Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) sessions for the upcoming IETF 117 meeting are due by 26 May 2023.

If a proposal needs further work, the IESG and IAB will work with BOF proponents on revisions, but the initial proposal needs to be received by 26 May 2023.

IMPORTANT: BOF proposals are now made via the IETF Datatracker at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/bof-requests

Additional instructions for submitting a BOF proposal are available at https://ietf.org/how/bofs/

Please also read https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5434, "Considerations for Having a Successful Birds-of-a-Feather Session", if you are not familiar with it.

BOFs are just one of a number of ways of bringing new work into the IETF. If you are considering a BOF request but you are unsure whether to submit it, please ask the IESG now by sending an email to iesg@ietf.org, or speak to an individual Area Director (https://www.ietf.org/about/groups/iesg/members/) about your idea.

Thanks,
Lars Eggert
IETF Chair
