Cisco’s Dave Frampton places emphasis on practicality of ideas
It is always a good idea to get some guidance when you’re submitting ideas for a worldwide contest. We waylaid Cisco’s Dave Frampton, Vice President of the Access Routing Technology Group as he was getting out of a conference room and talked to him in a casual setting. Dave is one of the Executive Sponsors of the contest and talked about the timing of the contest, the type of ideas he was expecting to receive and laid emphasis on business relevance, hinting that he also welcomed some of the “wildcard” entries 
For more on what is expected by the judging team, and additional guidance on formulating your proposal, take another look at the judging criteria for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the contest. It’ll provide some direction on how to approach the proposals phase.
