<font size="-1">Hi<br>
<br>
USD3M is roughly currently the budget to run the 3 IETF meetings, and
IBM, CISCO, and Comcast are already picking this up.<br>
<br>
There are less than 1000 participants at each of the 3 IETF meetings.
All participants are self funded and have to pay about USD600 as
registration fee.<br>
<br>
I think there was 1000 participants to INET at the best of times?<br>
<br>
Other may have better memory than me.<br>
<br>
Anyhow if ISOC decide to pick up this tab (this could be possible),
there must be a strong advantage to spend this amount in a conference
rather than let's say giving it to chapters for doing good in their
region. With about 100 chapters, this would be 30,000USD each.
Alternatively USD3M would be about 15,000-30,000 XO laptops from OLPC.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello Alessandro,
If we have chapters that have been able to organize regional events
impressively, a global event wouldn't be difficult.
The first of the INET needs to be planned for a participation of 3000
delegates from around the world, including invited participation from
IETF, ICANN and related internet organizations.
Venue, Food, giveaways, network dinners for five days for 3000
participants = 5 X $100 x 3000 = $ 1.5 million. Call an IBM, CIISCO or
a Comcast and and pick this up. ( Easily said, but may have to split
into various sponsorship opportunities for a consortium of sponsors )
Fellowships for Travel & Accomodation = 100 ISOC participants + 100
from related organizations, ISOC to allocate 100 x $ 3000 = $ 300,000
Speakers, ISOC Officers and Board = 200 x $ 5,000 + 50 x $ 10000 = $ 1,50,000
Total of what is generalized above: $ 1.95 million
Other expenditure not generalized $ 1.05 million
US $ 3 million. Call an IBM, CIISCO or a Comcast and and pick this up.
( Easily said, but may have to split into various sponsorship
opportunities for a consortium of sponsors )
Would be money well spent, productively spent. An absolutely needed
allocation for a very necessary event.
