The Internet Society is pleased to invite applications for Fellowships to the OECD Technology Foresight Forum.
Fellowships to the OECD Technology Foresight Forum are part of the Internet Society’s Next Generation Leaders (NGL) programme and are available to Internet Society members aged between 20 and 40 years.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Technology Foresight Forum is an annual event organized by the OECD’s Committee for Information, Computer, and Communications Policy (ICCP) to help identify how technical developments create opportunities for, and pose challenges to the Internet Economy. Foresight Forums are a collaborative effort of policymakers from member and non-member governments, business, civil society, and the Internet technical community.

I would have wished to apply for Fellowships to OECD Technology Foresight Forum. Why lock out folks above 40 years, yet we are mentoring the young lads as well as a persion.
Does it meean therefore that we shall remain only passive members yet the young ones need mentorship, training and guidance from epxereinced persons like us?
