[Chapter-delegates] Reminder on ISIF Asia Grants Deadline

[Karen Rose]

Dear Colleagues -

As announced in an ISOC on this list on 13 June and in the ISOC press 
release of 20 June, ISOC is a partner in the Information Society 
Information Fund for Asia (ISIF).  

ISIF provides small grants of up to US$30,000 to help advance local and 
regional projects aimed introducing, improving, and applying Internet 
and ICT technology for the benefit of Asia-Pacific users and 
communities, with a particular emphasis on less developed countries.

The programme is a partnership between APNIC, ISOC, and the Canadian 
International Development Research Centre (IDRC).

This is just a reminder that applications to the ISIF Asia programme are 
due 1 September 2008.  If your Chapter, community partners, or members 
intend on applying, it would be helpful if you could send a reminder 
about this deadline to those responsible for the application. 

Detailed information on the ISIF Asia programme is available at:  
http://www.isif.asia.  Should you or your partners have additional 
questions not answered by the website, inquiries can be directed to the 
manager of the ISIF Secretariat, Sylvia Cadena, at info at isif.asia.

Thanks and best regards,
Karen
