I am posting this message to the IETF list for information, on behalf of Kathy:
> From: Kathy Brown <[email protected]> > Subject: IETF Sustainability - New Website Launch > > Jari, > > One of ISOC's roles is to raise money for the IETF. We do it in various ways, > providing annual direct funding and helping with sponsorship arrangements. We > have dedicated staff working to secure meeting hosts and other sponsors > (Welcome Reception, Bits-n-Bites, Hack-a-thon, etc.). I wanted to update you > on one other effort to ensure the IETF’s financial sustainability… you may > remember the Open Internet Endowment. > > In Yokohama at IETF94 I noted that the Endowment is under transformation to > become dedicated solely to the support of the IETF. I would like to let you > know that the details of that transformation have been completed, and that a > new website has been launched at www.sustainIETF.org. > > We are optimistic that this is an attractive vehicle for contributing to the > IETF. We are talking to some potential donors in the background, and plan to > engage in a broader campaign later this year. If you have any comments, let > us know. > > Kathryn C. Brown > ISOC President and CEO
