Background
• Programme started in 2006 to increase awareness of standards development processes where there was no understanding
• In 2011, came under umbrella of newly-formed Internet Leadership team
• In 2013, refined selection criteria— number of individuals who apply has gone from 8/fellowship slot to 12-14/fellowship slot; caliber of individuals has also increased
• At each IETF meeting we send 12-17 individuals, 6/6 + model
• 193 individuals, total of 289 awards
• 2016 budget is $150k

The 2016 Survey & Analysis
• This analysis is at the request of Board members and in addition to post-meeting surveys done after each IETF
• Objectives
• Assess promotion of IETF and open standards in broader communities; e.g., academic research and via remote hubs
• Assess contributions to IETF and open standards development • Evaluate engagement in other tech and policy discussions and with ISOC • Review ROI
• 61 respondents (31%); another approx. 30 individuals are known to ISOC staff and are involved in tech standards and deployment

Key Takeaways & Next Steps
• Contributions that happen to IETF are direct and indirect
• Fellows represent new demographics of those still to come online by age, gender, AND region
• Tech Fellows are amplifiers across tech and policy
• The programme is a model for others
• This is analysis to look at strategy going forward
• 2017 next steps include convening small team to:
• Assess how we can engage former fellows as levers to advance ISOC priorities • Refine programme

“Without being a fellow I wouldn't have been able to convince my employer of the importance and relevance of IETF…also the networks that you can create being a fellow are way bigger than attending on your own.” - Hugo Salgado
“Technically it was enriching…interesting part was policymaking which opened up a new window. Also came across various means to make Internet reach remote parts of world.” - Chetaj Harsha
