Subject: [CommunityInformaticsCanada] [Fellowalumni] 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<http://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.

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

Kind Regards,
Steve Conte
Internet Society
