> About the Internet Governance Forum (IGF)
> 
> The Internet’s influence has touched people all over the globe. In 2003 and 2005, the United Nations organized the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). One of the most critical outcomes from this landmark summit was the creation of the Internet Governance Forum, or the "IGF".  Each year there are global, national, and regional IGFs events happening around the world.
> 
>  
> 
> Every IGF offers a unique space for an amazing range of people to share information and develop solutions on key Internet issues. It was purposefully designed not to be a decision-making body, which allows people to speak freely, on an equal footing, without limitations linked to the negotiations of formal outcomes. What comes out of the IGF, however, plays an essential role in shaping decisions taken by other groups that helps the Internet run.
> 
>  
> 
> Take Part in the Forum
> 
> Those individuals chosen as ISOC Ambassadors to IGF take part in the forum itself, providing subject matter expertise and facilitating the exchange of information and best practices with key stakeholders participating in the meetings. In the lead up to the Forum itself, each ambassador will participate in an online course for four weeks and will be paired with a mentor – an experienced IGF participant, often a former recipient of this award – who will help them prepare and familiarize themselves with the relevant IGF materials, as well as acting as a point of contact at the meeting itself.
> 
>  
> 
> Ambassadors represent the Internet Society by promoting the organization’s positions on public policy issues related to the discussions happening at the IGF. They also contribute by providing local and regional perspectives and opinions to enhance the quality of the various sessions and workshops.
