[Chapter-delegates] Accepting Applications: Internet Society IGF Ambassadors

[Connie Kendig]

Dear colleagues:

IGF 2011 Ambassadors Programme – Call for Applications

The Internet Society is pleased to announce a call for applications to  
participate in the Internet Society (ISOC) Ambassador programme to the  
Internet Governance Forum (IGF) meeting in Nairobi, Kenya in September  
2011.

As part of the Internet Society’s Next Generation Leaders programme,  
the IGF Ambassador programme is designed to involve members in ISOC’s  
global engagement activities while providing valuable expertise and  
know-how to the IGF meeting in Nairobi.  The Internet Society supports  
participation of first time Ambassadors as well as returning  
Ambassadors from Internet Governance Forums in Rio (2007), Hyderabad  
(2008), Sharm El Sheik (2009), and Vilnius (2010).

"Since the Internet Society started the IGF Ambassadors programme in  
Rio in 2007,” notes Toral Cowieson, Internet Society Senior Director  
of Internet Leadership Programmes, “the issues have become more  
complex and the stakes higher.  ISOC is committed to fostering rising  
and future decision-makers at the intersection of policy, technology,  
and business and our renewal of this programme recognizes that these  
multi-disciplinary leaders are at the core of the discussion of an  
open and robust Internet."

The IGF 2011 meeting will take place Tuesday 27 through Friday 30  
September 2011. Interested individuals should be available to arrive  
no later than Saturday 24 September.

The deadline for applications is Friday, 27 May 2011.

The Next Generation Leaders programme, under the patronage of the  
European Commission for Information Society and Media, blends course  
work and practical experience to help prepare young professionals  
(aged from 20 to 40) from around the world to become the next  
generation of Internet technology, policy, and business leaders.

Further details on the Internet Society’s IGF 2011 Ambassador program  
are available here.
