Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program
“For the sake of peace and justice, let us move toward a world in which all people are at last free to determine their own destiny.” —Ronald Reagan “Like so many other things, democracy has to be nurtured. It has to be cultivated and people have to be given the opportunity to see that it is in their best interests. And so we have come to the conclusion after a long struggle that there must be ways other than with the use of military power, economic tools, and other diplomatic resources, to encourage people to help themselves to the fruits of freedom. This is what the National Endowment for Democracy is all about.” —Dante Fascell 1025 F Street, N.W., Suite 800, Washington, D.C. 20004 202.378.9700 | www.NED.org | [email protected] www.ned.org/fellowships/reagan-fascell-democracy-fellows-program 10years 2 | Leading Testimonials 4 | Programmatic Highlights 37 | Behind the Scenes Democrats at Risk | 20 Fellowship Experience | 6 The Reagan-Fascell Democ- Learning, networking, and international solidarity racy Fellows Program is an international exchange visitor program based at the National Fall 2003 Endowment for Democracy Shahin Abbasov (Azerbaijan) Zainab Bangura (Sierra Leone) (NED), a private, nonprofit Anahit Bayandur (Armenia) Anne Mugisha (Uganda) foundation dedicated to the Albino Okeny (Sudan) growth and strengthening of Tomás Pojar (Czech Republic) Aqil Shah (Pakistan) democratic institutions around Vladimir Tismaneanu (U.S.) 2003 2004 Francisco Villagrán (Guatemala) the world.

IONS PREPARATORY WORKSHOP HOSTED BY THE KENYA NAVY AT MOMBASA FROM 01 – 02 OCTOBER 2009 PURPOSE The preparatory workshop was aimed at providing a forum where member navies would be able to deliberate and discuss common interest issues in the spirit of promoting new avenues of enhancing friendship and professional cooperation in the IOR at the end of which it was expected that a finalized list of Agenda items and theme for the IONS Summit – 2010 would be agreed upon. The workshop evidenced participation by nominees from 15 member navies each of who made invaluable contributions and recommendations making this activity a truly all inclusive process. SESSION 1 – OPENING CEREMONY The Commander of the Kenya Navy, Major General S J Mwathethe outlined that the primary aim of IONS was to create Allied Naval Partnerships, establish a high degree of inter-operability, share information and to explore ways to overcome trans-national maritime threat, natural disasters and maintain good order at sea. In his key note address, the Chief Guest, Lt Gen J W Karangi VCGS, Kenya Armed Forces, applauded the conceivers of the IONS initiative and the member navies for efforts towards mitigating maritime insecurity in the IOR. He also noted that Indian Ocean Sea Lanes of Communication are heavily relied upon by world economies for trade, and the current threats of piracy and armed robbery at sea dictate an increased naval cooperation and interaction which can only be attained through coordinated efforts like sharing of information, experiences and ideas.

Action by the meeting is at paragraph 3. REFERENCES - ANSIG/2 Report - MIDANPIRG/15 Report - MIDRMA Board/14 Report - MID RVSM SMR 2014 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Middle East Regional Monitoring Agency presents the MID RVSM Safety Monitoring Report (SMR) to the Middle East Air Navigation Planning and Implementation Regional Group (MIDANPIRG) for endorsement. 1.2 The MID SMR 2015 (Ver. 1.0) was calculated for 12 FIRs in the ICAO Middle East Region.

DISCUSSION 2.1 Further to the outcome of MIDANPIRG/15 meeting Conclusion 15/8 concerning the development of the MID RVSM SMR 2015, the Traffic Data Sample (TDS) required for the safety analysis must be collected from 01 September 2015 until 30th September 2015 for all traffic operating within the ICAO Middle East RVSM airspace and must be submitted to the MIDRMA not later than 31 October 2015. -

Students Deploy, Provide Emergency Communications Support by Kenneth A
U.S. Navy photo by Javier Chagoya Students Deploy, Provide Emergency Communications Support By Kenneth A. Stewart The Naval Postgraduate School’s Hastily Formed Networks (HFN) Research Group recently de- ployed to the Central Philippines to support disaster recovery efforts in the wake of Typhoon Hai- yan. HFN Research Group Director, and NPS Department of Information Sciences Lecturer Brian Steckler deployed to the region in advance of his student team to conduct early communications assessments. “I am working with the Marine Corps Pacific Forces Experimentation Center in support of the Third Marine Battalion (3rd MEB). The 3rd MEB is in charge of the initial Marine response to Typhoon Haiyan,” said Steckler. “My first step was to find out where they want to use our commu- nications capabilities and to conduct an assessment to determine local communications needs.” The Hastily Formed Networks group is not just in it for the academic value. We have deployed to other major disasters where we have provided real support to people in desperate need.” U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Travis Beeson HFN teams equipped with satellite-enabled, handheld devices were given the green light to con- duct rapid Information and Communication Technology assessments. NPS’ HFN team also used the advanced communications tools at their disposal to create hastily formed networks. “The communications link is critical, we cannot coordinate if we can’t communicate,” said NPS student and U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Travis Beeson of Versailles, Ohio. “We establish emergency communications between critical HA/DR centers, hospitals and NGOs. According to Steckler, a major complication in a situation like this is aid distribution — some ar- eas do not get enough assistance and others get too much.
