<b><tt>*OTF Releases 2015 Annual Report*</tt></b><tt><br>
On September 20, Open Technology Fund released its 2015 annual
report summarizing 18 months of operation ending in Spring 2016.
The report highlights a time in which OTF received its highest
level of support requests ever, as authoritarian actors worldwide
increased the depth and breadth of their censorship capabilities.
<br>
<br>
For the first time, OTF-supported tool adoption rose to over a
billion people - In this global context, OTF saw continued growth
in requests for support, receiving the highest number of
submissions in the history of its operations.</tt><tt><br>
<br>

These 10 years have seen major developments in Iran and in the
region. Telling examples include the Green Movement in 2009 and
more recently the Iran Nuclear Deal. But instead of looking back,
Zamaneh wants to celebrate this milestone with you all and look
ahead into the future. Ahead at all the opportunities as well as
challenges that the next 10 years will bring for Iran and the
wider region. We have therefore developed a packed event with
music, art, cinema, food, stands and many exciting speakers,
panels and presentations.</tt><b><tt><br>
