[kictanet] IETF Fellowship Announcement (IETF 82 and 83)

[alice at apc.org]

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet Society has announced that it is inviting applications for
its latest Internet Society Fellowships to the IETF, part of its Next
Generation Leaders (NGL) programme (www.InternetSociety.org/Leaders). The
Fellowship programme allows engineers from developing countries to attend
an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) meeting.

As you know, the IETF is the Internet's premier standards-making body,
responsible for the development of protocols used in IP-based networks.
IETF participants represent an international community of network
designers, operators, vendors, and researchers involved in the technical
operation of the Internet and the continuing evolution of Internet
architecture.

Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application process. The
Internet Society is currently accepting fellowship applications for the
next two IETF meetings:

    * IETF 82, 13 - 18 Nov 2011, Taipei, TW
    * IETF 83, 25 - 30 March, Paris, FR

http://www.isoc.org/educpillar/fellowship/index.php

Fellowship applications for both IETF meetings are due by 15 July 2011.

I encourage you to pass on information about this program to individuals
involved in your network that have a keen interest in the Internet
standardisation activities of the IETF.

The Internet Society Fellowships to the IETF are sponsored by Afilias,
Google, Microsoft, and Intel.

The Internet Society’s Next Generation Leaders programme is sponsored by
Nominet Trust, the Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en
Coopération (AFNIC), SIDN, and the European Commission.

Steve Conte
