Best regards, Xiaoming Fu (ICNP'09 Publicity Chair) IEEE ICNP 2009 PhD Forum ======================== http://edas.info/W.php?page=113 The ICNP'09 PhD Forum provides an environment for doctoral students to present and discuss their dissertation research both with their peers and experienced researchers from academia and industry. In addition to providing feedback and advice, this forum shall provide an opportunity for students to network as well as to practice presenting their research clearly and concisely. This forum is best suited to senior Ph.D. students who have developed a mature research dissertation topic and framework and are far enough into their PhD to have a concrete presentation outlining the key challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and methods that are applicable. This forum is broadly for students graduating in the next several months to about a year. Certainly feedback will help them fine-tune their thesis. Graduate students also get a chance to get feedback that they can use to write their papers, and address additional items in their research. Format ====== Each participant will have 15 minutes allotted for a presentation. We will limit the number of participants to no more than 5 presenters. Submission ========== 1. A summary of the student's dissertation research (up to 3 pages) including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related work and initial results. Applicants should clearly identify their contributions to the field of networking protocols design and analysis. 2. A short biographical sketch (1 page max) describing the applicants affiliations and research activities. This should include the date that the student expects to complete his/her dissertation. Please use the IEEE conference proceedings style (2-column) when preparing your abstract. If accepted, a student may be asked to provide explanations or clarification by the camera-ready deadline. Important dates =============== Submission deadline August 7, 2009, (Fri 23:59 PDT) Notification of decisions August 28, 2009 Final version of abstracts September 4, 2009 Where to submit? ================ By email to: icnp09phdforum@nile.cise.ufl.edu Use Subject Line: ICNP 2009 PhD forum submission Registration ============ Students may register for the conference at the student rate for participation in PhD forum (if they are not presenting a full paper in the conference which requires a full registration).

Please direct comments to the RFC-interest list (coordinates below). --aaron IRTF Chair -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [rfc-i] Copyrights and the IRTF and Independent Stream Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:59:42 +0200 From: Olaf Kolkman To: RFC Interest Dear Colleagues, This mail is about rights in RFCs and Internet drafts. The topic draws context, and uses terminology from: RFC 4844: The RFC Series and RFC Editor RFC 4846: Independent Submissions to the RFC Editor RFC 5378: Rights Contributors Provide to the IETF Trust RFC 5377: Advice to the Trustees of the IETF Trust on Rights to Be Granted in IETF Documents First some administrational notes. This mail serves as setting a baseline for a public discussion and is based on a few (virtual and real-life) hallway discussions. The goal of this discussion is to make sure all issues are brought to the table and the stream maintainers and the Trust are aware of the communities opinions. I see my role as an IAB member that is driving the discussion, and mildly moderating it. In the end it is the role of the IAB to see that an appropriate stream dependent process has been followed and that the streams do not interact inapropriatly. So in that sense this discussion informs the IAB too. Although this mail is sent to multiple lists I would like to urge folk to discuss the issues on the rfc-interest list: http://www.rfc-editor.org/mailman/listinfo/rfc-interest Without further ado. As you may know RFCs are published from different streams. With respect to the incoming and outgoing rights only the rights of the IETF stream documents are well defined. And currently the IAB has chosen to have IAB documents fall under this regime too. The situation is less clear for Independent and IRTF Stream documents: all existing provisions are targeted specifically towards IETF Contributions (in the narrow context defined by RFC5378). Besides, currently and in the context of copyrights, Internet Drafts (I-Ds) are seen as IETF contributions. Maintainers of the Independent and IRTF stream would like to have documents from their streams published with full rights to make derivative works or make no derivative works whatsoever, and require attribution in both cases. There are two strategies to make this work: 1. Allow I-Ds and RFCs for the IAB, IRTF, and Independent stream to be published with a Creative Commons license added. A rough outline of one of the ideas that is floating around ist that all contributions that are intended to become an RFC or are an IETF contribution (in the sense of RFC 5378 definition) will continue to have the 5378 license terms as defined by the trust. Since 5378 is non-exclusive authors may add a creative commons license if they'd like to. Care should be taken that those licenses would not be applied to IETF contributions, as that could lead to 'spoofed standard-track RFCs' 2. Have the trust manage the rights for the IAB, IRTF, and Independent streams RFCs and I-Ds. Both strategies may require that at the moment Internet Drafts is published as an RFC it is clear on which stream they are intended to be published, with which rights, and that the authors have appropriate authority to grant/sublicense those rights. In both cases we want to avoid that IETF contributions (I-Ds and RFCs, although it is not clear whether this is a strong requirement for I-Ds) are published with a license policy that would circumvent the Trust's control over the outgoing rights. A tactic/straw-man to implement (2) is as follows: i) Treat all I-Ds as or similar to IETF contributions (this way there is no doubt about the Trust having all necessary rights, see BCP78 section 5.3). There seem to be two paths to proceed: i.1) The stream controllers choose to apply the RFC5378 rules. This possibility is offered in section 4 of 5378 and the IAB stream chooses to apply the rules through its declaration in section 11. i.2) The streams write a stream specific "Rights contributors provide to the IETF trust" document. ii) Have the stream controllers request the IETF Trust to create license(s) for non IETF-Stream RFCs that grant for (full|no) derivative rights, attribution required. (document this request in an RFC). iii) Ask the trust to develop language that can be put on an I-D with which the author can request (full|no) derivative rights if/when the I-D is published on a specific non-IETF stream document. This sort of text would serve as an indication of consent with wide licensing and could be included as boilerplate material together with an indication of intended stream (as in draft-iab-streams-headers- boileplates). There are some pros and cons to this scheme that we need to identify in public discussion, hence this mail. During the hallway discussion, I've seen the following arguments and identified the following open questions. I don't claim completeness. - The Trust is not well equiped to hold non-IETF documents. Mainly because it requires the interperetation that all documents are IETF Documents. Is this interpretation based on language in the Trust agreement or on the definition of IETF Documents in the context of BCP78? Or, is the trust well suited, and does implementation only need some boilerplate changes? - IETF Stream RFCs need to be protected by limited derivative rights so that the IETF keeps ownership over its Standards and can maintain those. Suppose a I-D with full derivative rights is posted (either because the author has published it with Creative Commons, or because the Trust allows full derivative rights for stream specific I-Ds) would narrowing down the rights by publication as an IETF stream RFC cause any problems?
