ISOC Fellowship to the IETF

Become a Program Sponsor

ISOC is extending an opportunity for organisations to become sponsors of this important program. As a sponsor of the ISOC Fellowship to the IETF, your organisation can realise significant value, including:

  • Demonstrating your commitment to technical capacity building in less developed regions
  • Showing your support for extending participation in the IETF to developing countries, and
  • Creating an opportunity to build contacts with technologists and potential regional leaders who are highly knowledgeable about conditions in developing countries.

Benefit Package

  • Press release announcing your organisation as a Fellowship sponsor
  • Prominent display of your organisation as a sponsor on the ISOC Fellowship website
  • Recognition in promotional and informational material ISOC develops about the Fellowship, including information for distribution at policy events, such as the Internet Governance Forum
  • Recognition as a Fellowship sponsor at each of this year's IETF meetings
  • Acknowledgement in this year's IETF Journals (3 issues) of your organisation as a Fellowship sponsor
  • An opportunity to put together an information/corporate gift pack that will be delivered to each participating Fellow at this year's IETF meetings.

Cost

Sponsorship is US$15,000. In addition to the direct benefits and sponsor value your organisation receives, your payment covers the transportation, lodging/food, and IETF registration fees for the Fellows.

Ericsson strongly supports the standardisation work of the IETF by participating in the working groups, the Internet Engineering Steering Group and the Internet Architecture Board. We also have been a committed ISOC Organization Member for many years. By developing the next generation of Internet innovators, ISOC's Fellowship to the IETF brings new talent in from across the globe and ensures the continued and future quality of the IETF's work- something essential for Ericsson's business. The quality of the technologists selected for the program is such that we just added a recent Fellowship alumnus to our global staff.
