Thanks Terry for these comments.
Get the IETF journal from the www.isoc.org site, it is quite an easy read for technical people:
http://www.isoc.org/tools/blogs/ietfjournal/
And don't forget to support ISOC activities, IETF is an activity of ISOC.

I think 4 people in the Pacific Islands have benefited of this scholarship since its creation
See you in March to the next IETF.

Hi All,
I was one of the fortunate fellows to attend IETF 73 Minneapolis. I would
encourage PACNOG members to apply to attend the next IETF meeting. (next
year IETF 74)
I must say although it was a bit cold for a pacific islander, it was a great
experience to participate in the working groups and was very interesting to
see the IETF machinery in action debating and formulating the next
enhancements/generation of standards.
These fellowships provide us a unique opportunity for people from developing
countries to participate and engage with the IETF working groups (WG). I
would suggest to members who are interested to subscribe/read the WG
discussions and RFC's as the discussions at these meetings can at times be
very technical.
Overall a wonderful programme and thanks to ISOC for allowing me this
experience.
Thanks
Terry

Thanks Philip,
Dear PacNOG members,
Don't hesitate to contact any of us if you need any further information to
apply to attend IETF, to enable your participations.
I will be including this event and including relevant issues, needs and
updates from IETF and other relevant bodies, and plan for regional
preparatory including policy in our 2009 calendar which will be discussed in
workplan with the CEOs in PTC, Honolulu.
Perhaps have them included in PacnOG5 and PacNOG6 conference sessions
Updates to be shortly provided

Dear Colleagues,
The Internet Society has announced that it is seeking applications
for the next round of the ISOC Fellowship to the IETF program. The
program offers engineers from developing countries fellowships that
fund the cost of attending 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 fellowship
applications for the next two IETF meetings:
* IETF 74 being held in San Francisco, USA, 22 - 27 March 2009
* IETF 75 being held in Stockholm, Sweden, 26 -31 July 2009
Up to five fellowships will be awarded for each IETF meeting.
Full details on the ISOC Fellowship to the IETF, including how to
apply, are located on the ISOC website at :
http://www.isoc.org/educpillar/fellowship
Fellowship applications for both IETF meetings are due by 31 December
2008.
The Internet Society formally launched the ISOC Fellowship to the
IETF program in January 2007 after successfully piloting the program
during 2006 at IETF 66 in Montreal and IETF 67 in San Diego. Thirty six
individuals from 25 countries have participated in the program since
its inception.
I encourage you to pass information about this program to individuals
involved in your regional operators' groups that have a keen interest
in the Internet standardisation activities of the IETF. You also may
consider being a reference for the applicant.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Connie Kendig
kendig@isoc.org or Mirjam Kuehne
mir@isoc.org.
Kind Regards,
Connie J Kendig
ISOC
