by Nicolás Echániz

I'm thinking Sol or someone else based in Africa could be a good initial candidate... but of course that depends on the will and availability of our members based in the region. cheers, NicoEchániz -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: 2018 ISOC African Chapters' Advocacy Meeting: Invitation to apply for Travel Fellowship.
