[Eodir] Re: TIOF - About IETF 122

["Jean F. Quéralt" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Jay, Roman,

I hope this email finds you well.

Following up on this conversation, I wanted to update you that The IO
Foundation will run an activity for local technologists to introduce them
to the SDO ecosystem, how to actively participate in SDO work as well as
preparing for their participation in IETF 122. We estimate 5 Fellows will
come out from this group.
We have scheduled it on the 15th so that the Fellows can attend the New
Participants program on the 16th. We hope to finish on time to catch some
of the Welcome Reception and the HotRFCs.

Please find all the information on the event here:
https://short.theiofoundation.org/ietf-ietf-122-info

Registration can be found here:
https://short.theiofoundation.org/ietf-ietf-122-registration

Feel free to share with your network if you think it could be of value to
them.

Should you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Best,
Jean F. Queralt
Founder & CEO - The IO Foundation <https://TheIOFoundation.org>
Book a meeting <https://TIOF.Click/BookJFQ> (30 minutes)
