--Apple-Mail=_4F89FF87-4F27-4954-AC8D-C4E83489E3B5 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 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=E2=80=99t sure if your = idea is ready or who else 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 conversations. Interested folks are invited to 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 purposes, including: 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 BOF or side meeting, = 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=E2=80=99d like to know more and, importantly, provide = coordinates on how to do so. HotRFC is a place to start conversations, not to continue or relitigate = ongoing working group debates. If a topic is already being discussed in = a WG or RG, that work should stay in its existing process and venues. = HotRFC is intended for new ideas, cross-cutting topics, and early-stage = discussions that benefit from broader awareness and fresh input. With the current hybrid IETF meeting format, we=E2=80=99re going to keep = things 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 [email protected] no later = than Friday, 17 July 2026, 2400 local meeting time that includes the = following: Talk title Presenter, Affiliation, and whether you=E2=80=99ll 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.) Information on where to learn more, how to 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=E2=80=99d like = collaborators to look at To provide slides, submit PPT or PDF to [email protected] no later than = Saturday, 18 July 2026, 2400 local meeting time. 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, 19 July 2026, at 1800 local IETF meeting = time All talks will be presented live, whether in-person or via MeetEcho. Video of the session will be recorded for later viewing.
