IGF 2011 Ambassadors Programme - Call for Applications

 

The Internet Society is pleased to announce a call for applications to
participate in the Internet Society (ISOC) Ambassador programme to the
Internet Governance Forum (IGF) meeting in Nairobi, Kenya in September 2011.

 

As part of the Internet Society's Next Generation Leaders programme
<http://www.isoc.org/leaders>  (www.isoc.org/leaders), the IGF Ambassador
programme is designed to involve members in ISOC's global engagement
activities while providing valuable expertise and know-how to the IGF
meeting in Nairobi.  The Internet Society supports participation of first
time Ambassadors as well as returning Ambassadors from Internet Governance
Forums in Rio (2007), Hyderabad (2008), Sharm El Sheik (2009), and Vilnius
(2010).

 

"Since the Internet Society started the IGF Ambassadors programme in Rio in
2007," notes Toral Cowieson, Internet Society Senior Director of Internet
Leadership Programmes, "the issues have become more complex and the stakes
higher.  ISOC is committed to fostering rising and future decision-makers at
the intersection of policy, technology, and business and our renewal of this
programme recognizes that these multi-disciplinary leaders are at the core
of the discussion of an open and robust Internet."

 

The IGF 2011 meeting will take place Tuesday 27 through Friday 30 September
2011. Interested individuals should be available to arrive no later than
Saturday 24 September.

 

The deadline for applications is Friday, 27 May 2011.

 

The Next Generation Leaders programme, under the patronage of the European
Commission for Information Society and Media, blends course work and
practical experience to help prepare young professionals (aged from 20 to
40) from around the world to become the next generation of Internet
technology, policy, and business leaders.
