>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.
