It appears that Nico Williams <nico@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> said: >Fernando has pointed out repeatedly that ISOC used to have a sponsorship >program for participants from economically disadvantaged countries, and >that this program has been terminated. It wasn't working. The people would come to a meeting but then wouldn't write I-Ds or continue to engage with the IETF. In one particularly unfortunate case, the person didn't even speak English and somehow the selection process missed that. We want to resume it with a selection process that finds people who can benefit from IETF meetings and are likely to be ongoing IETF contributors. >But we _care_ so *so* much! Thanks for your thoughtful anaylsis. R's, John
