<p>Hi Barry,</p>
<p>Just knowing this, I hope this support is still running. We have
very young and eager Engineers that could benefit from this kind
gesture.</p>
<p>Looking forward to it.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Daniel<br>

<div>For those who don't know: WACREN is sponsoring young
engineers for many years now to attend the AfNOG training
workshops (sometimes up to about 10 fellows). And after the
workshops, they stay to attend the AfriNIC meetings.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>WACREN is not involved in the applicants selection process.
We just ensure with AfNOG diversity of sponsored applicants
(gender, country of origin). <br>

Jordi,<br>

Has there been or is there any organization that has sponsored

If we are not careful we will raise the dead.<br>

Sponsors don't need to know who are the fellows, AFRINIC will
select them based in the rules jointly agreed with the
sponsor. AFRINIC and sponsor jointly define other details such
as what training materials are provided to the fellows, how
they are evaluated and if they don't match certain
requirements (such as not actually coming to the sessions,
etc.), if they don't get reimbursed all the costs, etc.<br>
