Timeline for submission and proposal review:

• PC performs initial review and assigns a “shepherd” to help develop the submission — typically within 2 weeks.

• Submitter develops draft slides of talk if not already submitted with the initial proposal. Please submit initial draft slides early — the PC does not evaluate submissions until draft slides are available for review. NANOG Staff is available to assist with slide templates upon request from the submitter.

• Panel and Track submissions should provide a topic list and intended/confirmed participants in the abstract.

• PC reviews the slides and continues to work with Submitter as needed to develop the topic.

If you think you have an interesting topic but want feedback or suggestions for developing an idea into a presentation, please email the PC (nanogpc@nanog.org), and a representative will respond to you in a timely manner. Otherwise, submit your talk, tutorial, track, or panel proposal to the Program Committee Tool at your earliest convenience. We look forward to reviewing your submission!
