Subject: IETF 113 - New Session Request Tool Instructions

From: IETF Agenda <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2022 11:13:54 -0800

A new update to the Datatracker has added several additional fields to the Session Request form, available at https://datatracker.ietf.org/secr/sreq/. Please see below for detailed instructions on how to use these additional fields. 

==

Number of Sessions: You may select 1 or 2 sessions. After choosing the number, an additional field will be added for each session, with three components:

Name: This field should be left blank for a regular WG session.

Purpose: Please choose "Regular" on both dropdown menus for a regular WG session.

Requested Duration: Please select either a 1 hour or 2 hour session for IETF 113. 

==

Times during which this WG can not meet: This field is still experimental and is designed mostly to work with a new tool which helps automate the scheduling process. You may check boxes of times you would prefer not to be scheduled, but doing so does not guarantee that the agenda will reflect your selections. The times listed are local to the meeting venue, which is UTC +1 for Vienna, Austria. Please continue to describe any scheduling constraints you have in the Special Requests field. 

==

Plan session adjacent with another WG: This field is also still experimental and is designed mostly to work with a new automation tool. If you'd like to be scheduled directly before or after another WG, please indicate the other group here. This is not a guarantee that your groups will end up adjacent to each other.

==

Joint session with: If you are holding a joint session with another WG, please select their WG acronym here. If you have requested more than one session, you will be asked to choose which one is meant to be held jointly. 

==

If you still have additional questions about how to request a session, please send them to [email-masked]. We are accepting scheduling requests through Friday, February 4, 2022.
