As we head towards IETF 96 next week, I want to provide a brief update on the IETF Endowment‹one of the variety of ways the Internet Society works with the IETF on funding its activities. Other ongoing efforts include providing annual direct funding, raising sponsorships, and providing people and back office resources. As the IETF Endowment develops, the Internet Society remains committed to continuing its support of the IETF in these ways as well. As you may recall, the IETF Endowment resulted from transforming the Open Internet Endowment to be dedicated solely to supporting the IETF. While the focus has narrowed, contributions from organizational and individual contributions are still encouraged. We will, in the future, have a major, public campaign but currently, anyone may contribute via the online form at: https://www.sustainietf.org/ We believe the IETF Endowment will be an important part of ensuring a sustainable footing for the IETF for the next 30 years and are working toward growing the fund. I look forward to seeing many of you and to providing a further update in Berlin. Best, Kathy
