With the completion of its third full year, the Internet Society (ISOC) Fellowship to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) continues to engage technologists from developing countries and to enrich the Internet development community, both internationally and on the local level. As an integral part of ISOC’s Next Generation Leaders Programme, the Fellowship fosters a greater understanding of and participation in the Internet standards-setting process among individuals who might otherwise be unable to contribute to and benefit from the work of the IETF. In 2009, the Fellowship supported 30 individual participants from 19 countries.
