Best, Jane Internet Society | www.internetsociety.org Skype: janercoffin Mobile/WhatsApp: +1.202.247.8429 On 10/25/18, 11:43 AM, "gaia on behalf of Mat Ford" <gaia-bounces(a)irtf.org on behalf of ford(a)isoc.org> wrote: Please help publicise by forwarding the CFN and/or sharing these social posts: https://twitter.com/inretafo/status/1052928000768057344 https://www.facebook.com/inretafo/posts/1904532959631351 Thanks, Mat CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: APPLIED NETWORKING RESEARCH PRIZE (ANRP) 2019 https://irtf.org/anrp ******************************************************************** *** Submit nominations for the 2019 award period of the *** *** Applied Networking Research Prize until November 11, 2018! *** *** *** *** (Please share this announcement with your colleagues.) *** ******************************************************************** The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is awarded for recent results in applied networking research that are relevant for transitioning into shipping Internet products and related standardization efforts. Researchers with relevant, recent results are encouraged to apply for this prize, which will offer them the opportunity to present and discuss their work with the engineers, network operators, policy makers and scientists that participate in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its research arm, the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Third-party nominations for this prize are also encouraged. The goal of the Applied Networking Research Prize is to recognize the best new ideas in networking, and bring them to the IETF and IRTF especially in cases where they would not otherwise see much exposure or discussion. The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) consists of: • invited talk at the IRTF Open Meeting • travel grant to attend a week-long IETF meeting (airfare, hotel, registration, stipend) • cash prize of $1000 (USD) • recognition at the IETF plenary • invitation to related social activities • potential for additional travel grants to future IETF meetings, based on community feedback The Applied Networking Research Prize will be awarded once per calendar year. Each year, several winners will be chosen and invited to present their work at one of the three IETF meetings during the year. HOW TO NOMINATE Only a single person can be nominated for the award. The basis of the nomination is a peer-reviewed, original journal, conference or workshop paper they authored, which was recently published or accepted for publication. The nominee must be one of the main authors of the nominated paper. Both self-nominations (nominating one’s own paper) and third-party nominations (nominating someone else’s paper) are encouraged. The nominated paper should provide a scientific foundation for possible future IETF engineering work or IRTF research and experimentation, analyze the behavior of Internet protocols in operational deployments or realistic testbeds, make an important contribution to the understanding of Internet scalability, performance, reliability, security or capability, or otherwise be of relevance to ongoing or future IETF or IRTF activities. Applicants must briefly describe how the nominated paper relates to these goals, and are encouraged to describe how a presentation of these research results would foster their transition into new IETF engineering or IRTF experimentation, or otherwise seed new activities that will have an impact on the real-world Internet. The goal of the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is to foster the transitioning of research results into real-world benefits for the Internet. Therefore, applicants must indicate that they (or the nominee, in case of third-party nominations) are available to attend at least one of the year’s IETF meetings in person and in its entirety. Nominations must include: • the name and email address of the nominee • a bibliographic reference to the published (or accepted) nominated paper • a PDF copy of the nominated paper • a statement that describes how the nominated paper fulfills the goals of the award • a statement about which of the year’s IETF meetings the nominee would be available to attend in person and in its entirety • a brief biography or CV of the nominee • optionally, any other supporting information (link to nominee’s web site, etc.) Nominations are submitted via the submission site at https://irtf.org/anrp/2019/. In exceptional cases, nominations may also be submitted by email to anrp(a)irtf.org.

FW: The World Bank is seeking two people to work on edtech initiatives around the world (full time positions, not consultancies)

by Jane Coffin

Hi Folks – See this note about working with a great team at the World Bank. Best, Jane Internet Society | www.internetsociety.org Skype: janercoffin Mobile/WhatsApp: +1.202.247.8429 From: Michael Trucano <mtrucano(a)worldbank.org> Date: Monday, October 15, 2018 at 4:38 PM Subject: The World Bank is seeking two people to work on edtech initiatives around the world (full time positions, not consultancies) FYI The World Bank is seeking to hire two people to work on research, advisory and operational activities with governments around the world, exploring the effective and appropriate use of information and communication technologies (“ICTs”) to meet a variety of objectives related to teaching and learning. These are full time positions (i.e. not consultancies): Education Technology Specialist (5 years’ experience) - https://goo.gl/zhjk7u Senior Education Technology Specialist (8+ years’ experience) - https://goo.gl/kBPizn These people will work as part of a small, dynamic, fast-paced ‘edtech’ team led by Mike Trucano [https://goo.gl/ERi7XY] and Bob Hawkins [https://goo.gl/3uZ64y], in support of a geographically disbursed set of 17 regional World Bank staff working on large scale education projects with ministries of education in middle and low income countries around the world. If you know someone with relevant experience looking to work on some of the world’s toughest educational challenges in some of the most challenging contexts around the world: This could be her, or his, dream job. More information is below, as are links to the full job descriptions, and how to apply. The closing date to apply is 28 October 2018. Please note: There is no specified salary in the job announcements; salaries will be determined competitively based on relevant skills and experience. Please feel free to circulate these announcements across your networks, and encourage people to re-post them. Here is a related tweet: https://twitter.com/WBedutech/status/1050065784100331520 Please note that, given the variety of contexts in which we work, we are especially keen to have a very diverse group of qualified applicants, and are doing extra outreach to make sure that e.g. we get applicants from people with backgrounds and characteristics often underrepresented in recruitments of this sort conducted by institutions headquartered in the North America and Europe, especially for jobs (like these) that have a strong focus on technology-related topics. One request: Please DO NOT direct people to write to us directly about these positions. With this in mind, we would appreciate it if you did not recirculate this email with e.g. Mike’s email address attached. (He gets a few hundred emails a day, way more than he can respond to, or even look at fully, and he shudders to think at what his inbox will look like if candidates start contacting him with questions about these jobs -- especially given that, on some days, he gets a dozen unsolicited inquiries from people looking for jobs.)

I think I'm a bit unclear about what is considered a CN here. Is there a specific published description / definition? Standard biz model? Range of models?

Re: [DC3] DC3 Digest, Vol 36, Issue 4

by Don Means

Many, most, have taken shape from electric co-ops. Cannot municipalities be convenient instruments of their communities to provide services? Not that it’s superior, I’m just looking for defined boundaries. Zero gov’t? All volunteer? Revenue streams? Rights of way issues? Apologies, I feel like I must sound like a newbie. Allow me to lurk quietly. Observe and maybe learn.
