Note Well

The Note Well text is available online and in the front pages of the IETF meeting packet (PDF) available on the meeting web site.

Working Group/BOF Rosters ("Blue Sheets")

  • Please remember to circulate the blue sheets for your session.
    • If they are not already on the clipboards, the blue sheets can be found in the translucent colored folders at the head table. Please do not remove these folders from the room; they contain the blue sheets for sessions that will be held in this room after your group.
  • At the end of your session, please turn the blue sheets in to the Secretariat at the registration desk. After registration closes on Friday, please turn in blue sheets to the Secretariat office. (The location of the Secretariat office will be posted at the registration desk on Friday.)
  • Please DO NOT remove the clipboards from the meeting room. They will be needed in the session that has the room after your group.

Audio/Visual and Meeting Room Issues

If you are having issues with the A/V equipment in your meeting room, or are having a problem with the environment in your meeting room (e.g. noise, temperature), please send a trouble ticket to [email protected]. Please be as specific as possible in your message, and remember to include the room name.

Network/Connectivity Issues

If you are having trouble connecting to the IETF network, please send a trouble ticket to [email protected] or visit the Help Desk in the Terminal Room. Please be as specific as possible in your message. If you are unable to send email, please visit the Help Desk in the Terminal Room.

Presentation Slides

Please encourage all presenters to upload meeting slides prior to the meeting. For those that you do not receive prior to the meeting, please take a few minutes to upload them at the very start of the meeting. This is particularly helpful to remote participants, since while they can follow discussion via the jabber room and audio stream, they cannot view meeting slides unless those slides have been uploaded.

Jabber

  • At the start of the meeting, please ask if someone in the room is willing to act as "scribe" for the jabber room.
  • The scribe should then join the conference room, and type a running commentary as to what's going on in the room (e.g. if a speaker makes a presentation, the scribe types the URL for the presentation into the jabber room).
  • During question time, a remote participant can type a question into the room and the scribe will pass it on to the speaker.

Audio Streaming

The audio streaming can only pick up sound from directly around the microphone, so it is important both that you speak directly into the microphone and also that you remind any meeting participants that they must come up to the microphone if they want to speak.
