Re: Onsite Childcare at IETF 114

[Alexa Morris <[e-mail]>]

I want to correct an omission in this announcement. In addition to the previously mentioned Diversity & Inclusion sponsors, Comcast -- co-host of IETF 114 -- is also a longtime sponsor of the IETF's Diversity & Inclusion programs. We want to once again thank all Diversity & Inclusion sponsors -- Akamai, Cisco, Huawei, Comcast and Verisign -- for their generous support of the IETF's childcare initiative and other programs that strive to make the IETF a more diverse, inclusive and productive organization.

This service is offered free of charge to registered IETF participants and initially provides space for up to ten children.  We strongly encourage advance sign up to give us sufficient time to investigate adding more space if this service becomes fully booked.
