This is a friendly reminder that preliminary proposals for Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) sessions for the upcoming IETF 116 meeting are due in two weeks, by 27 January 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 27 January 2023.

BOF proposals are submitted when logged into 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
