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

Subject: IETF Fellowship Announcement (IETF 82 and 83)<br>
<br>
Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
The Internet Society has announced that it is inviting applications for its<br>
latest Internet Society Fellowships to the IETF, part of its Next Generation<br>
Leaders (NGL) programme (<a href="http://www.InternetSociety.org/Leaders" target="_blank">www.InternetSociety.org/Leaders</a>). The Fellowship<br>
programme allows engineers from developing countries to attend an Internet<br>
Engineering Task Force (IETF) meeting.<br>
<br>
As you know, the IETF is the Internet's premier standards-making body,<br>
responsible for the development of protocols used in IP-based networks. IETF<br>
participants represent an international community of network designers,<br>
operators, vendors, and researchers involved in the technical operation of<br>
the<br>
Internet and the continuing evolution of Internet architecture.<br>
<br>
Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application process. The<br>
Internet Society is currently accepting fellowship applications for the next<br>
two IETF meetings:<br>
<br>
* IETF 82, 13 - 18 Nov 2011, Taipei, TW<br>
* IETF 83, 25 - 30 March, Paris, FR<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.isoc.org/educpillar/fellowship/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.isoc.org/educpillar/fellowship/index.php</a><br>
<br>
Fellowship applications for both IETF meetings are due by 15 July 2011.<br>
<br>
Please note that this fellowship is aimed at individuals from developing<br>
regions that possess a solid level of technical education and enough<br>
knowledge<br>
about concrete areas of IETF work to follow and benefit from the meeting¹s<br>
technical discussions.<br>
<br>
I encourage you to pass on information about this program to individuals<br>
involved in your network that have a keen interest in the Internet<br>
standardisation activities of the IETF.<br>
<br>
The Internet Society Fellowships to the IETF are sponsored by Afilias,<br>
Google,<br>
Microsoft, and Intel.<br>
<br>
The Internet Society¹s Next Generation Leaders programme is sponsored by<br>
Nominet Trust, the Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en<br>
Coopération (AFNIC), SIDN, and the European Commission.<br>
<br>
