New Program to Encourage Participation of Developing Nations in Setting Internet Standards

Google Inc. has lent corporate support to the fellowship project offered by the Internet Society.

On January the 10th 2007, the Internet Society (ISOC) announced a new program, the "ISOC Fellowship to the IETF". The program offers fellowships that fund the cost of attending an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) meeting for technologists from developing countries. These will be awarded through a competitive application process for up to five per meeting, and applications are currently be accepting for two 2007 meetings.

The IETF is the Internet’s premier standards-making body, responsible for the development of protocols used in IP-based networks. IETF participants represent an international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers involved in the technical operation of the Internet and the continuing evolution of Internet architecture.

Engineers in developing countries feel the need to participate more in standard-making so that the Internet can be an effective tool all over the world. Localization is another process that aids in effective electronic communication. At Language Translation Inc. in San Diego, we specialize in software and website localization, helping your company achieve a global presence. “We speak your language...and theirs.”
