[Afpif] [af-ix] AfPIF-4 Fellowship for IXPs & NRENs

[Antonio Godinho]

Hi Michuki,

I would like to apply for the full fellowship in order to participate in the 
AfPIF-4 meeting. I have responded to the questions as per below:

i. Indicate whom the IXP has nominated to represent them at the AfPIF event. 

Antonio Godinho

ii. Indicate if you are requesting for partial or full fellowship 

Full fellowship

iii. Indicate the departure city and country 

Maputo, Mozambique

iv. Indicate your interest to participate at the Af-IX meeting to be held on 
afternoon of 2nd September (early arrival for event) 

I am interested in participating in this meeting.

v. Provide a plan of how you intend to socialise the AfPIF event to your 
members between now and the start of the event 

I will be contacting them and making them aware of the event through our IXP 
mailing list which sends email to all participants of the MOZIX.

vi. Provide an indication of how many peers/operators you can bring to the 
AfPIF event (the peers/operators should be willing to meet their own travel 
and accommodation expenses) 

This will depend entirely on the operators, I can only try to convince them 
of the importance of participating in such a forum.

vii. Provide information on how you intend to share your experiences with 
the community upon your return from the AfPIF event. 

I will share the information mainly through discussions with the members of 
the IXP through our mailing list as well as trying to organize a workshop in 
which other things can also be discussed such as deployment of IPv6 which I 
see as a very important issue which is still not regarded as such in 
Mozambique as no one has deployed it yet.

Cheers,

Antonio Godinho
