Hello All,

The Internet Society is inviting applications for its Fellowship to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The Fellowship programme allows technologists, engineers and researchers from emerging and developing economies to attend an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) meeting.

As you know, the IETF is the Internet's premier standards-making body, 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. The Internet Society is currently accepting applications for the following:

* IETF 99, July 16-21, 2017, Prague, Czech Republic

Information about the programme and links to apply can be found at: http://bit.ly/1HaKPt5.

Applications will close on 2 April, 2017 and successful candidates will be notified on 21 April, 2017.

We encourage you to apply for this opportunity or pass this information about the programme to individuals in your network that have a keen interest in the open standards development activities of the IETF.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Niel Harper at harper@isoc.org.

Regards,
