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

Thu Aug 24 13:51:26 EDT 2017

Raoul, it's different from the usual ISOC ambassadorship - it's only for
civil society (the application is different too).

I don't think there is an age limit.

Best,
-Michael
