announce that Alcatel-Lucent will be be the Host for IETF 72 in <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Dublin</st1:place></st1:City> and has agreed to
be the Welcome Reception Sponsor as well. [<a
href="http://www.alcatel-lucent.com">www.alcatel-lucent.com</a>]<br>
<br>
"Alcatel-Lucent is pleased to host the 72nd meeting of the IETF in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Dublin</st1:City>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Ireland</st1:country-region></st1:place>.
We're committed to supporting the important work of the IETF on new standards
as networks, services and applications all converge on IP." said Kevin
Macaluso, VP/GM Service Router Product Group, Alcatel-Lucent.<br>
<br>
Alcatel also had stepped up to host the IETF at IETF 61 in <st1:City w:st="on">Washington</st1:City>
<st1:State w:st="on">DC</st1:State> in 2004, while Lucent hosted IETF 50 in <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Minneapolis</st1:place></st1:City> in 2001.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
While we look forward to seeing you all in July in <st1:City w:st="on">Dublin</st1:City>,
we are just weeks away from IETF 71 in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Philadelphia</st1:place></st1:City>
9 - 14 March. Registrations are open and operators are standing by (so to
speak).. Visit <a href="http://www.ietf.org/meetings/71-IETF.html">http://www.ietf.org/meetings/71-IETF.html</a>
and join the 450 who have already registered.<br>
<br>
Been thinking about hosting or sponsoring a future meeting? The meetings
calendar through 2013 [<a href="http://www.ietf.org/meetings/0mtg-sites.txt">www.ietf.org/meetings/0mtg-sites.txt</a>]
shows some of the possibilities. Specific opportunities available include IETF
74 in <st1:place w:st="on">North America</st1:place> in March 2009. Just
send Terry Monroe an email at <a href="mailto:monroe@isoc.org">monroe@isoc.org</a>
and he can walk you through the opportunity. <br>
<br>
Thanks again Alcatel-Lucent! We couldn't do it without you.<br>
