-We would like to ask you to consider giving your proposal as a
-less formal Birds-of-a-Feathers (BoF) session. Unlike last year
-these BoFs will take place in smaller rooms suitable for
-discussions and brainstorming rather then fronal presentations or

-If you want to hold a BoF about "$topic", please use the Comas
-webinterface to change the type of your presentation from
