@Ali It is good you have brought up this topic. An I take this opportunity to thank you for speaking your mind.
By ISOC putting the ceiling of 40 years for some of the opportunities, I must recognize that they did so this with a reason aiming to build up capacities from the younger generation. But in the African context. they say life begins at 40. At that age you are in a better position to provide fatherly mentorship and guidance.
Nevertheless there are very many available opportunities for all ISOC members even if your 50+. Do not focus on the few fellowships, there are plenty of opportunities for every volunteer, so long as you get involved. Just take you time and immerse yourself into ISOC's objectives, mission and goals and you will notice the difference. Try to volunteering your time, resources and expertise for ISOC to achieve its mandate. This is a participatory society where there are ongoing processes that requires members commitment, contribution and participation. Come aboard. Age is just a number.

Unfortunately some of us are on the wrong side of 40...:-)
May be Barrack and the power that be at ISOC can petition for some of us Old Geezers? (Despite the fact that sometime back I recall Yawe saying that if you are over 40 then its over for you! (or something to that effect)) :-)
