Process for Submissions + Proposal Review

Process for Submissions + Proposal Review

  • The Submitter enters abstract (and draft slides if possible) into the PC (Program Committee) Tool prior to the deadline for slide submission.
  • PC performs initial review and assigns a “shepherd” to help develop the submission — typically within 2 weeks. The shepherd will guide the Submitter through the rest of the process as their liaison.
  • Submitter develops draft slides of talk if not already submitted with the initial proposal. Please submit initial draft slides early. Submissions with slides are generally favored by the PC; slides allow the PC to visualize what the submitter intends to present and thus are easier to be accepted for the NANOG program. A NANOG slide template as well as presentation guidelines are available here: https://www.nanog.org/participate/presentation-guidelines
  • Panel and Track submissions should provide a topic list and intended/confirmed participants in the abstract.
  • PC reviews the slides and continues to work with Submitter as needed to develop the topic.
  • Draft presentation slides should be submitted prior to the published deadline for slides.
  • PC evaluates submissions to determine presentations for the NANOG Program .
  • Agenda assembled and posted.
  • Submitters notified.
  • Final presentation slides must be submitted prior to the published deadline for slides.
  • Remote presentations are pre-recorded at least two weeks before the conference start date to allow for post-processing by NANOG staff.
