--Reston, USA.  The enormously successful Internet Society
International Networking Conference (INET) held in Prague, 
15-17 June, ended with a record number and diversity of 
attendees.

This year's conference was held in conjunction with the 
RARE organization's Joint European Networking Conference (JENC).  
Related events included the Society's week-long Technologically 
Emerging Country Workshop, the Society's Board of Trustees 
and Advisory Council meetings, the RARE Workshop, and the 
Asia-Pacific Internet Operations Coordination Committee.

The TEC Workshop itself attracted 159 participants from 71
different countries.  The Asia-Pacific Coordination Committee
also involved more than 50 people from throughout the region,
and planned its next meeting later this year in Beijing.

On the way to the Prague Conference, Internet Society
Executive Director Tony Rutkowski met in Geneva with the
heads and senior officials of the International Telecommunication
Union (ITU), the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO), the GATT (about to become the World Trade Organization),
and the European Computer Manufacturer's Association (ECMA) who
are all dealing with Internet-related matters.  The ITU hosted 
seminars by Rutkowski that attracted staff of 29 country embassies 
and missions (including 6 ambassadors), and 56 different 
organizations including 11 U.N. agencies.

The final INET-94 tally came to 1205 registered participants from 
106 different countries and territories, listed below.

In meeting with media representatives at the end of the
Conference, Internet Society President Vint Cerf and Executive
Director Tony Rutkowski said that these two weeks not only 
demonstrated the enormous activity and interest in Internet 
developments throughout the world, but also set the groundwork
for massive global Internet infrastructure development over the
next year.

Next year's INET conference will be held in Singapore (the week
of 12 June 1995) and will include a first - a Global K-12 Workshop.
