  general interest to the SIGCOMM community, e.g., cloud programming,
  mobile apps, PHY Layer programming, etc.

the "two-and-out" rule. Workshops that have appeared twice before at
SIGCOMM are welcome to apply again.

  members have been contacted, and whether they have accepted the
  invitation. We strongly discourage speculative TPC listings.
