Hi all, I want to share with you three things. I start with the non-RIPE NCC related. ----------------------- Regional Internet Forum ----------------------- Regional Internet Forum (RIF) takes place in Metropol Palace hotel in Belgrade on 8 March. Participation is free of charge. They have an interesting program lined up: http://rif.rs/en/programdesavanja/2017-program-en/ The event is hosted by the Serbian National Internet Domain Registry (RNIDS). "RIF 2017 will bring together representatives of national internet domain registries in the region of Southeast Europe, representatives of state bodies, members of the local internet communities and global internet organizations, as well as experts from the region with academic and practical experience. Discussions on the RIF 2017 will be dedicated to the role of national registries in the region, their relationships with state institutions and other stakeholders within local Internet communities, the challenges of information security faced by the registries and exploration of ideas for cooperation and joint projects." --------------- RIPE Fellowship --------------- This new programme covers ticket, travel & accommodation for five applicants to attend the RIPE Meeting. This way we hope to make it easier for community members from all over our service region to participate in the meetings. You can apply for RIPE 74 (8-12 May 2017 in Budapest) by 3 March here: http://bit.ly/2jTwkmc ------------------------------------------- RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative (RACI) ------------------------------------------- If you are an academic there is still time to apply for RACI.
