We have started receiving slot requests, and adding them to the agenda for IETF 115. But it's not too late to get on the agenda for your talk!
Do you have an idea, problem space, or proposal that IETFers and IRTFers should hear about?
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 contact the presenter and continue the discussion after the session.
Goals include encouraging brainstorming conversations, helping new work proposers find collaborators, raising awareness of relevant work going on elsewhere, and promoting BarBoFs. Past HotRFC lightning talks have 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, especially 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 IETF 115 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.
To request a slot, submit a short abstract to hotrfc@xxxxxxxx no later than Friday, November 4th, 2400 UTC that includes the following
Talk title
Presenter, Affiliation, and whether you’ll be presenting in person or remotely
Short topic abstract (topics should be IETF- or IRTF-related in some way)
What you're looking for (education, collaborators, implementers, etc.)
Coordinates to learn more, contact those involved, participate in existing mailing lists and scheduled meetings, and/or relevant formal or side meetings.
Any relevant drafts or helpful resources you’d like collaborators to look at
To provide slides, submit ppt or pdf to hotrfc@xxxxxxxx no later than Saturday, November 5th, 2400 UTC.
Talk abstracts and slides will be posted on the meeting agenda. The agenda will be updated as requests come in.
The session will be on Sunday, November 6th, at 1800 UTC in Kensington 1
All talks will be presented live, whether in-person or via MeetEcho
Video of the session will be recorded for later viewing.
Thanks to Spencer Dawkins and Liz Flynn, who will be hosting the session on-site. We hope you’ll tune in.

P.s. If you think holding a public side meeting would be useful for people who are interested in your topic, there’s a wiki for that, at https://wiki.ietf.org/meeting/115/sidemeetings.
