[governance] Fwd: [ycig] Fwd: [kictanet] Civil Society applicants for the Internet Governance Forum

Thu Aug 24 13:02:32 EDT 2017

This is a bit weird, because
https://www.internetsociety.org/what-we-do/education-and-leadership-programmes/next-generation-leaders/igf-ambassadors-programme
says that the application period is now closed. I believe the last day to
apply for it was 6.8.2017.
