<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Dear
Members,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
Internet Society is proud to announce that 23 emerging global leaders have
successfully completed the inaugural eLearning online course, a central
component of the Internet Society’s Next Generation Leaders (NGL)
programme.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
Internet Society’s Next Generation Leaders programme blends coursework,
practical experience and mentorship to help prepare young professionals from
around the world to become the next generation of Internet technology, policy,
and business leaders.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>During
twenty four intensive weeks, our students learned the essential topics required
for effective interactions and relationships within the Internet ecosystem, as
well as key concepts and emerging issues in Internet governance.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>2011 will
see an expansion of the eLearning offerings: one class in English and a
concurrent class in French. We intend to translate the course material into
other official UN languages.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>With the
overwhelming response to the inaugural class (over 200 applications were
received), ISOC expects to receive many more expressions of interest in the
upcoming application round, slated to open in the first quarter of 2011.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The 2010
eLearning students join an ever-expanding pool of NGL talents that have
already, or will, take the opportunity to apply their leadership skills through
participating in the Internet Society’s Next Generation Leaders
representation programmes, including fellowships to the Internet Governance
Forum (IGF), Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), World Bank, and Organization
for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The NGL
programme is sponsored by organizations including: Nominet Trust and the
Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération (AFNIC) and the
European Commission. Additional support has been provided by Microsoft, Intel,
Afilias, and Google for the NGL’s Internet Society Fellowship to the
IETF component.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Full
details of the Next Generation Leaders programme and its other opportunities
are available here: <a href="http://www.InternetSociety.org/leaders/">http://www.InternetSociety.org/leaders/</a><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
