Applications open 1 August and close 29 August, and the audience is
exactly the people who browse a GitHub org, so the profile page is a
better fit than the website alone.
Placed as a callout above the project table rather than buried in
Participate, because the deadline is short, with a shorter pointer in
Participate where contributors are already being invited.
Phrased so the funding relationship is unambiguous: OPAQUE is the employer
and funder, and the fellowship puts more hands on the open specifications.
Announcing an OPAQUE-run programme from the org account without saying that
would read as the open project recruiting for a vendor.
Leads with the work rather than the terms. Selection is on a technical
proposal, so the ten open issues labelled fellowship are the most useful
thing to hand an applicant.
Also fixes the licence badge, which read Apache 2.0 for the whole org. It
was the one claim from the accuracy pass I left behind, since the licences
are mixed: Apache 2.0, MIT, and CC BY 4.0 depending on the project.

Companion to the site change (agentrust-io.github.io#11, merged and live). Applications open 1 August and close 29 August, and the audience is exactly the people who browse a GitHub org, so this page matters at least as much as the website.
Placement
A callout above the project table rather than inside Participate, because the deadline is short and the section people scroll to is the project list. A one-line pointer also sits in Participate, where contributors are already being invited.
On the framing
I wrote it so the funding relationship is unambiguous: OPAQUE is the employer and funder, and the fellowship exists to put more hands on the open specifications. Announcing an OPAQUE-run programme from the org account without saying that would read as the open project recruiting on a vendor's behalf, which is exactly the impression this org's charter works against.
Leads with the work
Selection is on a technical proposal, so the ten open issues labelled fellowship are the most useful thing to hand an applicant, and they self-filter for people who read before applying.
One extra fix
The licence badge said Apache 2.0 for the whole org. That was the last claim from the accuracy pass I left behind, since the licences are mixed (Apache 2.0, MIT, CC BY 4.0 depending on the project). Now points at the project table where each is stated.
