1st EOF in 2004: 26&27 January 2004

A happy, prosperous and healthy 2004 to all of you!

The first EOF of the year will take place on the 
	
	26th and 27th of January in Amsterdam.

See http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-47/meeting-plan.html .

We are seeking presentations, specifically from network operators for
this event.  The time schedule is tight this time:

	Monday, January 12th:   Definite Deadline for Submissions
	Thursday, January 15th: Publication of Preliminary Program
	Thursday, January 22nd: Publication of Final Progra
	
This leaves little time to puzzle out the programme; thus it is very
important that we receive complete abstracts this time. There will be
little time for communicating back and forth.  Obviously the earlier we
receive your abstract the more time there will be to work out any
details! To expedite things I have appended information about the 
format of abstracts here already.

General information about the EOF and the kind of presentations that
are appropriate can be found at 
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-46/eof-info.html .
This also provides a link to previous programs.

This time all RIPE working group chairs will be on the program
committee which can be reached at <eof-coord at ripe.net>.
