Veronica and all, Thank you for posting this. Indeed our members and my company share in this wonderful holiday. This year INEGroup will be sponsoring full 4 year college tuition for some 20 women to the college of their choice along with a liberal styphen for their living expenses while attending. We are very proud of the efforts and efforts of our women members which make up more than half of our membership in their tireless efforts. My company has for the past 9 years sponsored some 85 such scholarships for our women employees and family members of our employees to date. This year we have increased the fund by 18% in celebration of this holiday. It's my personal hope as well that in the future, the ALAC and ICANN will at some point join us or join with us in expanding these scholarships for women. Veronica Cretu wrote:
