Invitation to request an IETF mentor
All, During IETF 87 in Berlin, we will be running a trial of the IETF Mentoring Program. The goal of the IETF Mentoring Program is to match people new to the IETF (people who have participated in three or fewer face-to-face meetings or anyone registering as a student) with experienced IETF mentors. As a mentoring participant, your mentor will personally introduce you to the IETF community, help you find your way around the IETF the meeting, explain things, and introduce you to other attendees you might like to meet. Basically, your mentor will be your personal buddy during the meeting week, and possibly afterwards. The IETF Mentoring Program was created to help new IETF participants to get up to speed rapidly and help them begin to contribute to the IETF quickly and easily. If you wish to participate in the IETF Mentoring Program, you can follow the sign-up procedures described in the program FAQ: https://www.ietf.org/resources/mentoring-program.html After you follow the sign-up procedure, we will then introduce you to each other by email, and invite you to meet up in person at the IETF Meet Greet event on Sunday afternoon in Berlin. From there on, you and your mentor decide on when and where to meet during the rest of the week and afterwards. You are of course free to withdraw from the program at any time and for any reason, no questions asked, should a need arise. But I sincerely believe the IETF Mentoring Program will be a great way for new participants to get introduced to the IETF by an experienced participant with matching interest. Regards, Jari Arkko IETF Chair

Appeal Response to Abdussalam Baryun regarding draft-ietf-manet-nhdp-sec-threats
The IESG has reviewed the appeal of Abdussalam Baryun dated June 19, 2013 on the subject of inclusion in the acknowledgments section of draft-ietf-manet-nhdp-sec-threats: http://www.ietf.org/iesg/appeal/baryun-2013-06-19.txt This is a dispute about a matter in a working group. The same matter has previously been raised with the working group chairs and responsible Area Director, as specified in RFC 2026 Section 6.5.1. Writing acknowledgments sections is largely a matter of editorial discretion, where good sense and general attribution practices are the primary guidelines, although RFC 2026 Section 10.3.1 has some specific rules regarding acknowledgment of major contributors, copyright, and IPR. After reviewing the appeal, including the associated list discussion and draft revisions, the IESG concludes that the authors made a reasonable editorial choice that was well within their discretion and that none of the messages at issue fall under the required acknowledgment rules of RFC 2026 Section 10.3.1 and RFC 5378 Sections 5.6a and 1c. The IESG finds that the chairs and responsible AD handled complaints about the matter appropriately.
Draft submission deadlines change
Please note that for IETF 87, there is only one deadline for draft submission: Monday 15th July. Previously, there had been two different deadlines, one for -00 and another one for other versions. The IESG has decided to experiment with just one deadline for now to simplify the set of deadlines and enable easier submission of new drafts. While we realise that the change comes near the deadline, we hope that you find the extra time useful. But please do note that working group chairs will continue to make smart decisions about what topics are worthwhile for discussing in a session in the upcoming meeting, and will also set their agendas in a timely manner and create deadlines for their working groups that must be adhered to. The earlier new drafts are submitted, the more time there is to talk about them on the mailing lists and consider them for the session agendas. This is particularly important for BoFs.
