<br><br>Anne<br>---<br><br>The Internet Society has announced that it is seeking applications <br>for the next round of the ISOC Fellowship to the IETF program. The <br>program offers engineers from developing countries fellowships that
<br>fund the cost of attending an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) <br>meeting.<br><br>As you know, the IETF is the Internet's premier standards-making <br>body, responsible for the development of protocols used in IP-based
<br>networks. IETF participants represent an international community of <br>network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers involved in <br>the technical operation of the Internet and the continuing evolution <br>
of Internet architecture.<br><br>Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application <br>process. The Internet Society is currently accepting fellowship <br>applications for the next two IETF meetings:<br><br>
* IETF 70 being held in Vancouver, Canada on December 2-7 2007, and<br> * IETF 71 being held in Philadelphia, USA on March 9-14, 2008<br><br>Up to five fellowships will be awarded for each IETF meeting.<br><br>Full details on the ISOC Fellowship to the IETF, including how to
<br>apply, are located on the ISOC website at :<br><br> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.isoc.org/educpillar/fellowship">http://www.isoc.org/educpillar/fellowship</a><br><br>Fellowship applications for both IETF meetings are due by 7 September
<br>2007.<br><br>The Internet Society formally launched the ISOC Fellowship to the <br>IETF program in January 2007 after successfully piloting the program <br>during 2006 at IETF 66 in Montreal and IETF 67 in San Diego. Fifteen
<br>individuals from 12 countries have participated in the program since <br>its inception.<br><br>---------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Anne Lord, Senior Manager <
