Submitting Requests for Working Group and BOF Sessions

Please submit requests to schedule your Working Group sessions using the "IETF
Meeting Session Request Tool," a Web-based tool for submitting all of the
information that the Secretariat requires to schedule your sessions.

The URL for the tool is:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/cgi-bin/wg/wg_session_requester.cgi

Instructions for using the tool are available at:

http://www.ietf.org/instructions/session_request_tool_instruction.html

Please send requests to schedule your BOF sessions to [e-mail].  Please
include the acronym of your BOF in the subject line of the message, and include
all of the information specified in item (4) of "Requesting Meeting Sessions at
IETF Meetings" in the body.  (This document is included below.)

Submitting Session Agendas

For the convenience of meeting attendees, we ask that you submit the agendas
for your Working Group sessions as early as possible.  Draft Working Group
agendas are due Wednesday, October 25 by 17:00 ET (21:00 UTC/GMT).  Revised
Working Group agendas are due no later than Monday, October 30 at 12:00 ET
(17:00 UTC/GMT).  The proposed agenda for a BOF session should be submitted
along with your request for a session.  Please be sure to copy your Area
Director on that message.

Please submit the agendas for your Working Group sessions using the "IETF
Meeting Materials Management Tool," a Web-based tool for making your meeting
agenda, minutes, and presentation slides available to the community before,
during, and after an IETF meeting.  If you are a BOF chair, then you may use the
tool to submit a revised agenda as well as other materials for your BOF once the
BOF has been approved.

The URL for the tool is:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/cgi-bin/wg/wg_proceedings.cgi

Additional information about this tool is available at:

http://www.ietf.org/instructions/meeting_materials_tool.html

Agendas submitted via the tool will be available to the public on the "IETF
Meeting Materials" Web page as soon as they are submitted.

The URL for the "IETF 67 Meeting Materials" Web page is:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/meeting_materials.cgi?meeting_num=67

If you are a Working Group chair, then you already have accounts on the "IETF
Meeting Session Request Tool" and the "IETF Meeting Materials Management Tool."
The same User ID and password will work for both tools.  If you are a BOF chair
who is not also a Working Group chair, then you will be given an account on the
"IETF Meeting Materials Management Tool" when your BOF has been approved.  If
you require assistance in using either tool, or wish to report a bug, then
please send a message to:
[e-mail].
