For clarity, StandICT is not a generic Internet technology grant covering expenses to develop a technology, which may include IETF costs but also many others. StandICT is a program specifically aimed at covering the costs of attending Internet standardization organizations, including the IETF. I understand and share the sensitivity on not allowing "advertising" on this list, but I think that information about programs specifically designed to cover the costs of attending the IETF should be declared in topic, at least in terms of an announcement with pointers. Optionally, this could even be extended to announcements about programs, tools and opportunities that could foster more diversity in the IETF, though that may prove too vague and open to abuse. I would dare to say that we could require such announcements to be vetted by the Executive Director in advance, but I'm sure that some will find that too centralized :-) -- Vittorio Bertola | Head of Policy & Innovation, Open-Xchange vittorio.bertola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Office @ Via Treviso 12, 10144 Torino, Italy
