SEE 2/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting: Call for Presentations
--------------------------------------------------------

Are you an experienced network operator willing to share your expertise 
with your peers in South East Europe?

Following the tremendous success of the inaugural South Eastern Europe 
(SEE)/RIPE NC Regional Meeting in 2011 in Dubrovnik, we are now planning 
to hold a follow-up meeting in the region, this time in Skopje, Macedonia.

These regional meetings offer network engineers and other technical 
staff an opportunity to share their knowledge and experience, and to 
identify areas for regional cooperation. The meetings are open to anyone 
and there is no cost to attend.

The purpose of the meeting is to:
* Encourage the cooperation of operators in the region, enabling them to 
exchange information and discuss the issues that affect them
* Enable the RIPE NCC to further support Local Internet Registries 
(LIRs) in the region.
* Present the latest developments in the Internet industry.

SEE 2 runs from 22-23 April 2013 in Skopje, Macedonia.  The meeting 
agenda will consist of plenary sessions, tutorials, hands-on workshops 
as well as long coffee breaks, lunches, and evening social events with 
plenty of time for attendees to meet each other face-to-face.

The SEE Programme Committee (PC) is currently looking for network 
operators and researchers in South East Europe who would like to teach a 
technical tutorial or lead a workshop and/or give a technical 
presentation during the conference.

Submission topics include (but are not limited to):
* IPv6 (in general)
* BGP and routing
* Network management and monitoring (BSS/OSS/NMS)
* Internet exchanges
* DNS/DNSSEC/IDN
* Policy and regulatory aspects

Please note that marketing/commercial content will not be considered.

or marketing. A draft version of the presentation (PPT or PDF) must be 
submitted with the talk proposal. This draft version should outline the 
content flow of the talk and any key messages.

--------------------------
Guidelines for Submissions
--------------------------
When considering a presentation, workshop or tutorial, remember that the 
audience will mainly be comprised of technical network operators and 
engineers with varying levels of experience.

Workshops/tutorials are 90-minutes long and should focus on teaching 
core skills and basic knowledge.

Conference presentations should address issues that ISPs and network 
operators could face over the next 12-18 months in their day-to-day 
operations.

Conference presenters should plan for a 20-minute presentation followed 
by a 5-minute Q&A period.

----------------------------------
Notification of Accepted Presentations
----------------------------------
The SEE 2 PC will confirm acceptance of your presentation proposal by 25 
March 2013. Late submissions that are exceptionally timely or of 
critical operational importance will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Funding and Support

SEE 2 is a not-for-profit event that aims to keep the cost of attending 
as low as possible. For this reason, SEE is unable to subsidise the cost 
of travel for speakers.
