solve problems with every aspect of their (net)work.

The inaugural meeting is designed to provide an opportunity for the
exchange of information among network operators, engineers, researchers

number and length of presentations per session is not fixed, although
due to time constraints we would prefer the length of the presentations

presentations or presentations whose subject falls outside of the topics
below are also welcome; please do not hesitate to submit them.

Topic #1: Internet, politics and regulations
--------------------------------------------
Duration: 90 minutes

Topics can include (but are not limited to): Legal interception,
government-driven DNS blacklists, DNSSEC (and problems arising from DNS
blacklists).

Topic #2: Peering
------------------
Duration: 60 minutes

All around your peering experience. Why are you doing it? How are you
doing it? Have you written any useful tools which others might find
interesting?

Topic #3: ISP BOF
-----------------
Duration: 90 minutes

"All things ISP". From Network/SLA Management (for or against it), abuse
handling and log systems to data centre layout and planning (including
power and cooling), everything that is interesting to you as an ISP can
be presented or discussed within this topic.

Topic #4: DENOG Organisational Matters
--------------------------------------
Duration: 60 minutes, no papers necessary

In this session we will discuss how to proceed with DENOG and potential
future meetings. We will present our ideas and eagerly await your own
ideas, feedback and comments.

Submission Guidelines
=====================
All submissions must have a strong technical bias and must not be solely
promotional for your employer. To appeal to an international audience we
ask you to produce your slides in English, but the presentation itself
can be in either German or English.

Please remember that your presentations should be suitable for a target
audience of technicians from varied backgrounds, working for companies
whose sizes vary considerably.

To submit a proposal for a presentation, we request that you provide the
following information as plain text or PDF format to
<denog-pc at denog.de>:

* the name of the presenter (and if applicable your affiliation)
* a working email address
* the name and number of the topic which will contain the presentation
* the title of the presentation
* its expected length (in minutes)
* the preferred spoken language for the presentation
* a short abstract of the presentation (not more than 200 words)

We also welcome suggestions for specific presentations which you feel
would be valuable to the DENOG community.

Please be aware that your presentation will be publish on the DENOG
website after the event.
