[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Fellowship to the IETF

[Anne Lord]

Dear Chapter Delegates,

Today ISOC launched a new program aimed at helping technologists from  
developing countries become more involved in the IETF by attending a  
meeting in person. The program, called the ISOC Fellowship to the  
IETF, sponsors the cost of attending (meeting fees, airfare, hotel  
accommodation, and a small stipend) for up to five individuals per  
meeting.

The program is aimed at individuals from developing countries that  
possess a solid level of technical education and enough knowledge  
about concrete areas of IETF work to follow and benefit from the  
meeting’s technical discussions.

Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application  
process. ISOC currently is accepting fellowship applications for two  
IETF meetings: IETF 68 being held in Prague, Czech Republic on 18 -  
23 March and IETF 69 being held in Chicago, USA on 22 - 27 July.  
Applications are due on 2 February 2007.

Full information on the program, including how apply, is located at  
http://www.isoc.org/educpillar/fellowship/. Chapters are encouraged  
to pass information about this program to individuals in your chapter  
and local community that have a keen interest in the Internet  
standardization activities of the IETF.

If you have questions, you can contact ISOC’s Education team: Karen  
Rose at rose at isoc.org <mailto:rose at isoc.org> or Mirjam Kuehne at

Best wishes,

Anne
