Dear Colleagues,

The Internet Society has announced that it is seeking applications
for the next round of the ISOC Fellowship to the IETF  program. The
program offers engineers from developing countries fellowships that
fund the cost of attending 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 76 being held in Hiroshima, Japan, 8-13 November 2009
     * IETF 77 being held in Anaheim, USA, 21-26 March 2010

Up to six fellowships will be awarded for each IETF meeting.

Full details on the ISOC Fellowship to the IETF, including how to
apply, are located on the ISOC website at :

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

Fellowship applications for both IETF meetings are due by 31 July 2009.

The Internet Society formally launched the ISOC Fellowship to the
IETF program in January 2007 after successfully piloting the program
during 2006 at IETF 66 in Montreal and IETF 67 in San Diego. Forty seven
individuals from 29 countries have participated in the program since
its inception.

I encourage you to pass information about this program to individuals
involved in your regional operators' groups that have a keen interest
in the Internet standardisation activities of the IETF.  You also may
consider being a reference for the applicant.

If you have questions, please do not hesiate to contact Connie Kendig
<kendig at isoc.org> or Mirjam Kuehne <mir at isoc.org>.

Kind Regards,
Mirjam Kuehne
ISOC

_________________________________________________

On 20-21 July 2009, a national policy dialogue meeting was held in Dakar,
Senegal to discuss ways and means of establishing a NREN.
About 50 participants from all 5 public universities, private universities,
research institutes, the ministries in charge of education, scientific
research and ICT, the Government ICT Agency, the Telecommunication
Regulatory Agency and developing partners attended the meeting that was
opened by the Minister of Scientific Research and the Permanent Secretary of
the Ministry of Higher education. Vice-Chancellors too attended the opening
and closing ceremony.

The participants decided to work together towards the establishment of a
Senegalese research and education network by April 2010. A Steering
Committee has been established as well as 3 working groups on governance,
technical issues and content.

The Government ICT Agency offered to provide connectivity between the
participating institutions from its national fibre backbone with bandwidth
in the gbps range; a dedicated fibre pair can be allocated at a later stage.
Visioconference equipment that is already available will be made available
to them too.

A declaration (attached) was produced, with an appeal to policy and decision
makers, namely the President, the Ministers in charge of higher education,
research and ICT and to Vice-Chancellors.
