[Suresh Ramasubramanian <suresh@hserus.net>]

Dear all

The APRICOT conference, convened annually since 1996, has been a unique and
successful educational forum for Internet builders in the Asia-Pacific region,
to learn from their peers and from leaders in the Internet community. Senior
practitioners from the Asia Pacific and around the world contribute their time
to APRICOT as presenters, teachers and trainers, to produce a non-commercial
conference of consistently high-quality.

Since 2000, APRICOT has incorporated a Fellowship Program to provide
opportunities to developing country personnel to participate in APRICOT. This
program provides basic assistance to successful fellows to cover local living
and registration expenses associated with attending the conference.

The APRICOT 2005 Fellowship Committee now cordially invite suitable applicants
to apply for fellowship funding to participate in APRICOT 2005 in Kyoto, Japan

Fellows must be actively involved in network operations / networking education
and should demonstrate willingness to use their learning gained at apricot to
good effect in their home countries, and in subsequent apricot events.

Successful applicants will be provided with a reasonable (local host standard)
allowance for food and accommodation. In addition all fees for participation by
fellows in the Conference, Tutorials and Social Events will be waived. The
final grant size is determined according to final costs and available funding,
and will be advised to successful applicants.

Note: It should be noted that travel expenses are not funded by the Fellowship
Program and are the responsibility of the successful fellow.
