I currently meet none of the criteria, but would find it interesting to listen to at least a few of these. Yes, each class has participatory and interactive elements. As mentioned, the interactions *among* participants have been the most highly rated aspects of past editions, that’s definitely a feature. While, I don’t think there’s an easy way to have separate “observer” status with the technology we’re using, you (and any other IETF participant) should definitely feel free to register as we expect to be able to accommodate anyone who is interested. You can sign up at: https://chairs.ietf.org/en/training There are also recordings of past editions available via that page, and we plan to post recordings of this year’s editions there, too. > > 2) Are these internally sourced classes, or something for which we've contracted out? If the latter, would you be willing to identify the providers? We engaged a company called Ricochet (https://ricochetadvice.com/) to develop and deliver the training specifically for the IETF. The classes benefitted from guidance and input from chairs and Area Directors. They’ve been further refined based on feedback from participants in previous editions. Each class covers some general models and principles, tuned with IETF-specific examples and information. > > 3) If an external class, usually there's a longer blurb besides the tag line describing the goals in more detail. If those exist, could they be provided? Definitely.
