Thanks, Abibu.<br>
<br>
You're right, previously, SAFNOG has been 2 days, but we have been
working on increasing it to 3 because of additional requests for
workshops and parallel sessions. Also, we have EANOG this year, and
I am certain there will be parts of the agenda that are specific to
their delegates.<br>
<br>
So my suggestion on a compromise would be this... can we have the
Day 1 tutorial/workshop on the 26th which covers both 90-minute+
sessions for the tutorial/workshop needs of SAFNOG, EANOG and tzNOG?
That way, we get to have the parallel tutorial session, and tzNOG
can meld this into their own workshop as a Day 1.<br>

<p>Dear Mark,</p>
<p>I will let my colleagues to contribute but I would like to
point out that in the past tzNOG agenda has been for 5 days
(Monday to Friday).</p>
<p>After the discussion and from past experience of safnog events,
I was told that safnog conferences have been mostly for 2 days
and that is why we proposed tzNOG6 to be from Wednesday to
Saturday (4 days).</p>
<p>Practically we can't have tznog training for 3 days (27th to
29th) but can be adjusted to 4 days. Most tzNOG OC members were
not in favor of the alternative of having tzNOG training until
Sunday (as the last day).</p>

<br>
<br>
We agreed for the tzNOG training to be for 4 days (26th to
29th Sept 2018). <br>

Naturally, we don't want the conference and the tzNOG workshop
to clash.<br>
<br>
I am really keen on doing a 3-day meeting this year for SAFNOG,
especially since we also have EANOG on-board. Is there any
chance we can have tzNOG running 27th - 29th?<br>
<br>
Alternatively, we could only have the clash on the 26th, where
the tzNOG either starts the whole day, or starts in the
afternoon.<br>
<br>
Grateful if the OC members can be more active in discussing
these plans, as it is delaying making announcements to the
community. E-mail will be the our most active mode of
communication. <br>
<br>
Also, once we put something out into the wild, it's almost
impossible to pull it back, so let's participate actively
please. Thanks.<br>
<br>
Mark.<br>
