Hi Arsene,<br>
<br>
IGF USA is governed by a multi stakeholder organizing committee of
which GWU and ISOC DC are members, but so was I and a number of
other people. In the past ISOC DC was the secretariat. I think they
used ISOC-DC non profit status to raise and funnel money that they
got from sponsors. This year's IGF USA will be held at CSIS. IGF
USA has long limited how much each sponsor could donate so that no
sponsor could dominate the scene. I forget what the limit was but I
know it was under 10K. We publish our budget and other materials on
the web and have open stakeholder calls which I think you joined in
last year on.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps. Happy to help in any way<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Judith<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your ideas. In my country, registering a non
profit takes time and has a number of requirements that needs to
be followed. Of course at the end of the day, you manage to go
through and have your non profit register. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How would people feel being listed as 'founders' of the
national IGF? Do you have in your countries such a 'title' for
the igf or a similar event? It simply looks weird to me :).
That's what would happen if we chose the non profit way :)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When i was attending the igf-usa in 2015, i had the
impression it was hosted by the GWU and ISOC DC, if i am not
mistaken. I found that very well done because the Univ is well
established and so is isoc (i guess an non profit or 501
something?)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I love the idea of controling sources of funding to avoid a
situation such as a company being seen as dominant. I have been
wondering about this coz when attending IGFs, i have the
impression of seing the 'big' donor being well highlighted. Is
this bad? At which extent do organizers need to pay attention?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thinking outloud:)</div>
<div><br>
</div>

I would suggest a non profit form as you would want to raise
funds for it and you would want a legal entity. If a
non-profit is too difficult than a for profit would work as
long as it is truly multi stakeholder. I believe that the
IGF-USA is a non-profit or at least affiliated with a non
profit. The Mag should have representative from all sectors.
You also make want to include restrictions on how much
companies can donate so that a few companies do not dominate
on the funding. <br clear="none">
