The IAOC and the Internet Society are very pleased to announce that Research In Motion (RIM) will be be the Host for IETF 81 in Quebec City. [http://www.rim.com/] RIM is the company behind the BlackBerry® brand, including the recently announced Blackberry Playbook tablet. Quebec City Canada is the site for IETF 81 from 24 - 29 July 2011. This will be the first time the IETF has met in Quebec City. The meeting will be held at the Quebec City Conference Centre, http://www.convention.qc.ca/tiki-index.php?page=HomePage . We want to thank our benefactors. The IETF cannot support its technical standards efforts, including the Secretariat and RFC Editor, without the generous support of its hosts and sponsors. We are less than 6 weeks away from IETF 79 in Beijing hosted by Tsinghua University. [http://www.tsinghua.edu.cn/eng/index.jsp] Registrations are open and operators are standing by (so to speak). Visit https://www.ietf.org/registration/ietf79/ietfreg.py and join the 400 who have already registered. Been thinking about hosting or sponsoring a future meeting? The meetings calendar through 2017 [www.ietf.org/meetings/0mtg-sites.txt] shows some of the possibilities. Just send Drew Dvorshak an email at dvorshak@isoc.org and he can walk you through the opportunity. Thanks again RIM! We couldn't do it without you. Ray Pelletier IETF Administrative Director
