Hello,

For the fifth year in a row, the RIPE NCC is committing to support
activities and projects for 'the good of the Internet'. We are pleased
to invite applications for funding from the RIPE NCC Community Projects
Fund.

Through the Community Projects Fund, the RIPE NCC will provide up to EUR
250,000 per year to support projects of value to the operation,
resilience and sustainability of the Internet, with a focus on tools and
services benefitting the technical community in the Europe, the Middle
East and Central Asia.

The Internet today owes its success to a lot of non-commercial,
community-driven work, and this continues to ensure the Internet remains
resilient, secure and accessible. If you or your organisation are
working on a new or existing project that fits the criteria below and
need some financial support to get it off the ground or keep it going,
we want to hear from you!

Is your project of benefit to the Internet, particularly the RIPE community?
Is your project non-commercial in nature?
Do you have a clear project plan and timeline?

The call for applicants will remain open until 23:59 (UTC), Saturday, 31
July 2021. You can find more details on the RIPE NCC Community Projects
Fund page:

Best regards,

Measuring Network Quality for End-Users, 2021
An Internet Architecture Board virtual workshop
Call for Papers

The Internet in 2021 is quite different from what it was 10 years ago.
Today, it is a crucial part of everyone’s daily life. People use the
Internet for their social life, for their daily jobs, for routine
shopping, and for keeping up with major events. An increasing number of
people can access a Gigabit connection, which would be hard to imagine a
decade ago. And, thanks to improvements in security, people trust the
Internet for both planning their finances and for everyday payments.

At the same time, some aspects of end-user experience have not improved
as much...

The IAB is holding this workshop to convene interested researchers,
network operators, and Internet technologists to share their experiences
and to collaborate on the steps needed to define properties and metrics
with the goal of improving Internet access for all users.

Interested participants are invited to submit position papers on the
workshop questions. Paper size is not limited, but brevity is encouraged.

Submissions Due: Monday 2nd August 2021, midnight
Invitations Issued by: Monday 16th August 2021
Workshop Date: This will be a virtual workshop, spread over three days:
1400-1800 UTC 14th-15th-16th September 2021
