Dear Emerging NREN Special Interest Group,

Please find attached a forwarded email message regarding fellowship
opportunities to participate in IETF meetings.  This is a good opportunity
for someone to participate in global networking activities (and have their
way paid by the Internet Society).  I would encourage young professionals,
particularly those from emerging regions to consider applying.

Thanks,

 -Dale Smith

Subject: IETF Fellowship Announcement (IETF 82 and 83)

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.

Please note that this fellowship is aimed at individuals from developing
regions that possess a solid level of technical education and enough
knowledge
about concrete areas of IETF work to follow and benefit from the meeting¹s
technical discussions.

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 Society¹s Next Generation Leaders programme is sponsored by
Nominet Trust, the Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en
Coopération (AFNIC), SIDN, and the European Commission.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Steve Conte
<conte[at]isoc[dot]org>.

Kind Regards,
Steve Conte
Internet Society
