thus far renewed it's mandate in 5 yearly basis since the IGF was initiated
in Tunis in 2004. The UN pursestrings, which support the IGF Secretariat,
are  relatively tight, and there is always the threat of non-renewal. As a
pillar of the multistakeholder Internet Governance process the IGF has
become indispensable, thus the Internet Society has taken the initiative,
and kicked in some cash, to set up an independent and permanent support
organization. Under Swiss law a general assembly is required to elect
officers, and set membership criteria, and that is what we have here.
Annual dues for individuals are to be $25, and 'legal entities' $100
(minimum). ISOC-NY's Avri Doria was elected to the Executive Committee as a
civil society representative. There is a mailing list.
