Hello - MANRS brings together Mentors and Ambassadors in a leadership program to make the global routing infrastructure more robust and secure. Applications are now open for the MANRS Mentors and Ambassadors Program, and will close on 19 April. Learn more in the blog post at https://www.manrs.org/2023/04/applications-open-for-manrs-mentors-and-ambass... or on the program page at https://www.manrs.org/champions/. Mentors are well respected routing security professionals who help guide Ambassadors and advise the community. Ambassadors are emerging leaders who work to improve their own skills and collaborate to improve routing security in their regions and industries. Together, they train diverse communities on good routing practices, analyze routing incidents, research ways to secure routing, and survey the global policy landscape. Mentors and Ambassadors select one track - training, research, or policy - during the application process. They must commit to the entire length of the six-month program, running June 1 to December 1, including monthly meetings and regular online discussions. This year, we’re planning a symposium at the end of the program where the participants can share their work with the entire community. The Internet Society supports this program as part of its work to reduce common routing threats and establish norms for network operations. We’re proud to announce the APNIC Foundation is also sponsoring the program again this year. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available; contact us if you’re interested. Applications will close on 19 April. Find out more and apply online via the Internet Society Foundation’s online portal at https://isocfoundation.fluxx.io/user_sessions/new. You will have to create an account if you do not already have one. I encourage you to share this call for applications with anyone in your network you think may be interested. If you have any questions about this program or the application process, email manrs-champions@manrs.org<mailto:manrs-champions@manrs.org>.
