I would note that Ted and I have had several very productive discussions on this subject over coffee.
The ideas coming forth on this thread are extremely helpful and so I would hope that the concept can become part of an invigorated international ISOC program, whether or not it called an Internet Corps. It will particularly benefit from Chapters who can see benefit both from having an intern assigned to them and from supplying candidates.
Also to be considered, again based on my experience, is whether Chapters that are in a better financial position could be asked to provide support for the intern assigned to them, thereby freeing up funds for other Chapters.
