Dear MAT WG,
Please find below the Call for Papers for the 9th meeting of the Middle East
Network Operators Group. If you have been doing work looking at networks in
the Middle East, please think about contributing some content.
Also, please keep in mind that presentations are to be technical in nature;
non-technical presentations or presentations with significant marketing content
will not be accepted.
Regards,
--Richard

> Paper Submission
> When considering a presentation or tutorial, remember that the MENOG
> audience is mainly comprised of technical network operators and
> engineers with a wide range of experience levels from beginners to
> multi-year experience. There is a strong desire to offer core skills
> and basic knowledge in the tutorials and to address issues relevant to
> the day-to-day operations of ISPs and network operators over the next 12
> - 18 months in the conference sessions.
>
> Draft slides for both tutorials and conference sessions MUST be provided
> with CfP submissions. The Programme Committee will not consider a
> presentation proposal without accompanying draft slides.
>
> While the majority of speaking slots will be allocated by 15 September
> 2011, a limited number of slots may be available after then for
> presentations that are exceptionally timely or of critical operational
> importance.
>
> Important Note MENOG is a technical conference so marketing and
> commercial content is not allowed within the programme. The programme
> committee will maintain the technical standard of MENOG, and will
> therefore not accept inappropriate materials. It is expected that the
> presenter be a technical person and not a sales or marketing person.
> The audience is extremely technical and expects that the speakers are
> themselves very knowledgeable. All sessions provide time for questions,
> so presenters should expect technical questions and be prepared to
> deliver insightful and technically deep responses.
>
> *Funding and Support *
> MENOG is a not-for-profit event that is trying to make the event only as
> close to zero cost as possible for attendees; therefore MENOG is unable
> to pay the travel costs of speaker.
>
> Looking forward to your submissions.
> Regards..
