On behalf of the North American Network Operators Group (NANOG) and the 
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), I would like to take this 
opportunity to draw your attention to the 2009 Postel Network Operator's 
Scholarship.

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

Successful applicants will be provided with transportation to and from 
the NANOG/ARIN joint meeting in autumn, and a reasonable (local host 
standard) allowance for food and accommodation. In addition, all fees 
for participation in the conferences, tutorials, and social events will 
be waived. The final grant size is determined according to final costs 
and available funding. Successful applicants will be advised at least 2 
months prior to the fall meeting date.

Applications from qualified individuals are now being accepted.  The
