On behalf of the North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) and the
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), we would like to take this
opportunity to draw your attention to the 2013 Postel
<http://nanog.org/resources/scholarships/postel>Network
Operator's Scholarship <http://nanog.org/resources/scholarships/postel>.

The Postel Network Operator's Scholarship targets personnel from developing
countries who are actively involved in Internet development, in any of the
following roles:

   - Engineers (Network Builders)
   - Operational and Infrastructure Support Personnel
   - Educators and Trainers

This is not a postgraduate fellowship or academic scholarship.

Individuals may nominate themselves for the Scholarship via email. The
Scholarship will be awarded annually to a recipient selected by a committee
comprising representatives from the NANOG Board of Directors and the ARIN
Board of Trustees. The selection committee will "whimsically" select the
annual recipient exclusively in response to the question: "What Would
Jon<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Postel>Do?" if he were asked to
select a recipient.

The successful applicant will be provided with transportation to and from
the NANOG and ARIN joint meeting October 7-11, 2013 in Phoenix, Arizona,
USA, and a reasonable (local host standard) allowance for food and
accommodation. In addition, all fees for participation in both meetings'
events will be waived. The final grant size is determined according to
final costs and available funding.  The chosen recipient will be advised at
least 2 months prior to the fall meeting date.

Applications from qualified individuals are now being accepted.  The
deadline for application is June 7, 2013 and the awardees will be informed
by July 19, 2013.

Please read full information about the scholarship at:

http://nanog.org/resources/scholarships/postel

To apply, please submit your application in PLAIN ASCII in the BODY of the
message, not as an attachment nor as a Word document, PDF, or any other
form, to PostelNOS at nanog.org.

Please be sure to include the following:

   - Full name and contact info
   - Your brief biography, including current and recent jobs held
   - A description of why you need and deserve this Scholarship to attend
   the NANOG and ARIN meetings
   - A description of how you plan to leverage your attendance at the

Steve Gibbard and John Curran, on behalf of the Postel Scholarship
