[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Next Generation Leaders Program

[Constance Bommelaer]

Dear Chapter delegates,

The Internet Society (ISOC) is happy to announce a new programme beginning
in 2010: the ISOC Next Generation Leaders (NGL) programme.

The NGL was officially launched 6 October 2009 at a youth forum lunch during
the ITU Telecom World week in Geneva. The programme is aimed at emerging
talents across the globe, between the ages of 20 and 40, and is a unique
blend of coursework and practical experience to help prepare young
professionals from around the world to become the next generation of
Internet technology, policy, and business leaders. More information on the
programme, including an information brochure available in the six official
UN languages, can be found at www.isoc.org/leaders .

As this programme is an opportunity to enhance and expand the ISOC community
we request that you assist us in promoting the programme. ISOC would be
grateful if you could share this information with your chapter members by
forwarding this email and inviting them to register to the NGL mailing list:
https://www.isoc.org/leaders/application.php?s=2 Those signed up to the
mailing list will receive programme information including application
details as they are sent out.

I hope that you take the time to review the NGL website and if you have any
questions, Connie Kendig (kendig at isoc.org) or myself would be happy to
answer them. We are very proud of our new programme and hope to have a
successful first year in 2010. Your assistance in sharing information about
the programme will be instrumental to our outreach efforts.

Thank you,
