Several recent initiatives have proposed new directions for research practices and their operations in the computer science community, from updated codes of conduct that clarify the use of AI-assisted tools to the inclusion of ethical statements and the organization of working groups on the environmental footprint of digitalization. In this position paper, we focus on the specific case of networking research. We reflect on the technical realization of the community and its incidence beyond techno-centric contributions. In particular, we structure the discussion around two frameworks that were recently developed in different contexts to describe the sense of engagement and responsibilities to which the practitioner of a computing-related area may be confronted.
