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 [email-masked]. 
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, November 5 by 17:00 PDT (01:00
Thursday, November 6 UTC/GMT).  Revised Working Group agendas are due no
later than Monday, November 10 at 17:00 PDT (01:00 Tuesday, November 11
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 73 Meeting Materials" Web page is:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/meeting_materials.cgi?meeting_num=73

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:
[email-masked].
