IEEE and ISOC Hold Second Fellowship Exchange Pilot Program

It also enables them to obtain a deeper understanding of the relationship between standards and their impact to industry and policy environments. The next session of the program will take place during the IETF 95 meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 3-8 April 2016.
