*Program Material*

The MWNOG-1/SAFNOG-9 Conference Programme consists of two parts, these 
being the Tutorials and Conference Tracks.

Topics proposed must be relevant to Internet Operations and Technologies:

     - IPv4/IPv6 Routing and Operations
     - Internet backbone operations
     - Routing Security, including RPKI and MANRS
     - ISP and Carrier services
     - Peering, Interconnects and IXP's
     - Network Function Virtualizaton
     - Network Automation/Programming
     - Research on Internet Operations and Deployment
     - Network infrastructure security
     - DNS/DNSSEC
     - Access and Transport Technologies
     - Content & Service Delivery and "Cloud Computing"
     - Semi conductor shortage and impact to equipment acquisition and 
operation
     - Software Defined Networking and SD-WAN.


*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 MWNOG-1 and SAFNOG-9 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.
