I have missed this one but it sounds like a great opportunity. Thanks for the info, Bill.

It seems that it is still possible to apply for it. Do you know how strict one must fit into the rules? E.g. in terms of working experience and certifications one should have.
The whitepaper wouldn't be a problem for me I guess.
edit: Oh, just saw at the bottom the end date - too bad.
Due to applicants’ request to have more time to research on white paper and case study for submission, the selection committee has decided to extend the closing date of Secure Aid to –July 31st, 2009.
