Ted,

Thanks for flagging this. I hadn't heard of it before, but it seems to be
an interesting opportunity that says it seeks to expand the diversity of
IETF contributor backgrounds. €5k/month for 10 hours a week is a
substantial incentive! Applicants appear to need to describe their target
working group and show how their input would impact the resulting WG output.

If any of the cohort are selected to contribute to the IETF, will they be
named? I'm asking because it would be good to learn from it afterwards, as
a case study of broadening participation and how this may improve the end
result.
