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 IETF meeting. Individuals from developing countries who have been following and participating in the work of the IETF remotely -- but have not yet attended an IETF meeting in person -- are encouraged to apply for the Fellowship. Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application process. The Internet Society is currently accepting fellowship applications for the next two IETF meetings: * IETF 70 being held in Vancouver, Canada on December 2-7 2007, and * IETF 71 being held in Philadelphia, USA on March 9-14, 2008 Up to five 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 The application deadline both IETF meetings has been extended until 14 September 2007. 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. Fifteen individuals from 12 countries have participated in the program since its inception. If you have questions, please do not hesiate to contact Karen Rose <rose@xxxxxxxx> or Mirjam Kuehne <mir@xxxxxxxx>. Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne ISOC _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
