[Tccc] Call for site proposals for ACM CoNEXT 2013

Dear colleagues,

The ACM CoNEXT conference (sponsored by SIGCOMM) is soliciting site 
proposals for its 2013 edition.

Details on what a site proposal entails can be found on the SIGCOMM 
CoNEXT web page <http://www.sigcomm.org/events/conext-conference> under 
"Proposals for Hosting CoNEXT 
<http://www.sigcomm.org/events/conext-conference/site-proposals>" 
towards the bottom of the page, but in short, putting forward a site 
proposal calls for

- providing the names of volunteer General Chairs,
- a site city,
- target dates (the conference is held at the beginning of December),
- together with some initial details on the overall organization,e.g., 
hotels, conference facilities, possible venues for the conference 
banquet, etc.

Note that like several other SIGCOMM conferences CoNEXT rotates on a 
three years cycle between Europe, North America, and a "wildcard".  
CoNEXT 2010 was in Philadelphia, PA, the 2011 edition was held for the 
first time in Asia in Tokyo, Japan, and just ended after what was a very 
successful conference, and the 2012 conference will take place in Nice, 
France, next December.

As result, we are now targeting a North American location for CoNEXT 
2013.  However, this is only a "target" and while preference will be 
given to proposals that conform to this target, strong proposals that 
don't will definitely be considered.

If you are interested in submitting a site proposal, please check the 
instructions on the CoNEXT page 
<http://www.sigcomm.org/events/conext-conference/site-proposals>, and 
email me (guerin at ee.upenn.edu <mailto:guerin at ee.upenn.edu>) your 
proposal before _*May 1st, 2012*_.
We are expecting to finalize a site selection by May 31st, 2012.
There is still plenty of time before the deadline, but proposals that 
are submitted early will be given greater consideration.

I will send reminders, but hopefully this email will trigger several 
initiatives to explore the possibility of hosting CoNEXT in 2013.

Best regards,

Roch
