these being the Tutorials and Conference Tracks.

    - Content & Service Delivery (Multicast, Voice, Video,
"telepresence", Gaming) and Cloud Computing

*CfP Submissions*

Draft slides for both tutorials and conference sessions MUST be provided
with CfP submissions otherwise the Programme Committee will be unable to
review the submission. For avoidance of doubt this means that
submissions which do not include slides will be rejected immediately.
For work in progress, the most current information available at time of
submission is acceptable.

All draft and complete slides must be submitted in PDF format only

Final slides are to be provided by the specified deadline for
publication on the SAFNOG-4/EANOG/tzNOG websites.

Prospective presenters should note that the majority of speaking slots
will be filled well before the final submission deadline. The PC may, at
their discretion, retain a limited number of slots up to the final
submission deadline for presentations that are exceptionally timely,
important, or of critical operational importance. Every year we turn
away submissions, due to filling up all available programme slots before
the deadline. Presenters should endeavour to get material into the PC
sooner rather than later.

Any questions or concerns should be addressed to the Programme Committee
by e-mail at:

                                            *pc-chairs at safnog.org*

We look forward to receiving your presentation proposals.

Cheers,

Mark Tinka
