-----------------------------------------------------------------
IETF 125 – Shenzhen, China
Meeting Dates: 14-20 March, 2026
-----------------------------------------------------------------

We are now accepting scheduling requests for all Working Groups and Research Groups until Friday, January 30, 2026.

===========================================================
How to Request a WG or RG Session

Requests to schedule Working Group or Research Group sessions should be submitted using the "IETF Meeting Session Request Tool." The URL for the tool is:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/session/request/

If you need assistance using the tool, then please send a message to support@ietf.org.  

As a reminder, the conflict list options are:

- Chair Conflict: to indicate other WGs the Chairs also lead, or will be active participants in at the upcoming meeting

- Technology Overlap: to indicate WGs with a related technology or a closely related charter

- Key Participant Conflict (e.g., presenter, Secretary, etc.): to indicate WGs with which key participation may overlap in the upcoming meeting. You do NOT need to add your Area Directors here; the datatracker will do this automatically.

The Special Request field will continue to be available for more specific needs. Please make sure you take a few minutes to check your conflict lists carefully!
