Do you want to propose IETF or IRTF work but aren’t sure if your idea is ready or who will be interested?
Agenda requests are now being accepted for the Request for Conversation (HotRFC) lightning talk session. Presenters will have 4 minutes to make their case for collaboration. Interested folks can continue the discussion after the session. Goals include encouraging brainstorming conversations, helping new work proposals find collaborators, raising awareness of relevant work going on elsewhere, and promoting BarBoFs. Past HotRFC topics covered a broad range of topics:
Collaboration: proposals for new standards work or new research topics that haven't been discussed elsewhere, potentially relevant research that may be ready for the IETF
Notification: new topics on the agenda in a working group or research group, cross-area IETF work
Enlightenment: updates on relevant technologies, industry advances that could affect IETF participants.
With strict time limits, concise talks will give viewers a sense of whether they’d like to know more and, importantly, coordinates on how to do so.
With the hybrid meeting we’re going to keep things rather simple and permit only live presentations, either on-site or remote via MeetEcho. Slides must be submitted in advance. Video of the session will be recorded for later viewing.

- The session will be on Sunday, July 24th at 1800 US ET
Talk abstracts will be posted on the meeting agenda and will be updated as requests come in.
