Hi Bob,

What do you mean by anyone in government departments wanting/needing to beef up their internet infrastructure expertise? 

We have government infrastructure in the Gambia.

Dear friends, 

Diplo is currently running a call for applications for a summer course on 
Infrastructure and Critical Internet Resources (Internet governance). 

Course topics include: CIR issues and their relationship to ICT strategy; 
technical infrastructure development, such as wired and wireless 
broadband Internet access systems; connection costs; protocol upgrades 
(e.g. IPv6 transition); the regulatory framework; net neutrality; and 
the DNS and the latest ICANN developments.

You can read more about the course below or at http://www.diplomacy.edu/courses/IGCBP-Adv-Infrastructure

If you have already benefited from the course, please share the call with others who can benefit, too.

Many thanks, and all the best,
Stephanie



Call for applications: Thematic course in Infrastructure and Critical Internet Resources


Diplo is currently running an open call for applications for the Infrastructure and Critical Internet Resources (CIRs)summer course, which presents topics and issues related to 
infrastructure and CIRs, including infrastructure development, 
connection costs, regulatory frameworks, IP protocols, network 
neutrality, the domain name system (DNS), and the roles of the main 
actors. 

Dates: The course will be conducted online over a period of ten weeks, 
starting on 21 July, and include one week of classroom orientation, 
eight weeks of dynamic class content, discussion, and activities, and 
one week for the final assignment. 

Structure: Reading materials and tools for online interaction are provided through Diplo’s award-winning online classrooms. Each week, participants read and 
discuss the provided lecture texts through hypertext entries; the tutor 
and other participants read and respond to these entries, creating 
interaction based on the lecture texts. During the week, participants 
complete additional online activities (e.g. further discussion via blogs or forums). At the end of the week, participants and tutors meet for an online chat session. The course is based on a collaborative approach to learning, involving a high level of interaction. The course materials, 
the e-learning platform, and the working language of the course are 
English. 

Who can benefit? We encourage the following to apply:
	* Officials in government ministries, departments, or institutions dealing with 
Information Society, Internet and ICT-related policy issues (e.g. 
telecommunications, education, foreign affairs, justice).
	* Researchers, academic, and postgraduate students in the IG field (e.g. in 
telecommunications, electrical engineering, law, economics, development 
studies).
	* Civil society activists in the IG and Information Society fields.
	* Journalists covering IG issues.
	* Individuals in Internet business-related fields (e.g. ISPs, software developers).

Requirements:The course is flexible, yet intensive. Applicants are required to have:
	* IG knowledge and/or experience of the multistakeholder approach in international affairs.
	* Either completed the course Introduction to Internet Governance, or have a basic knowledge of Internet governance, and infrastructure.
	* Sufficient ability in the English language to undertake postgraduate level studies (including reading academic texts, discussing complex concepts with 
other course participants, and submitting written essay assignments).
	* Regular access to the Internet (dial-up connection is sufficient, although broadband is preferable).
	* A minimum of 7-8 hours commitment per week, and the readiness to 
participate in class online sessions (once a week at specified times). 


Fees and scholarships: The enrolment fee for each course is €650 for a Diplo Certificate Course, or €790 for a University of Malta Accredited Course. 

A limited number of partial scholarships (maximum 20%) will be offered to participants from developing and emerging countries. Participants who 
would like to apply for financial assistance must upload a CV and a 
motivation letter when applying.
