Dear Colleagues,

This is a good opportunity for technologists, engineers and researchers
in Africa who are interested in open standard development.

The Internet Society is hereby inviting applications for its latest

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.

IETF 96 in Berlin, Germany:

* IETF 96, 17-22 July 2016, Berlin, Germany.
