I am always happy to have someone disagree with me :)
I didn't knew that chapter leaders are often administrative function. At least this is not the case of many chapter leaders in Middle East and Africa. The ones I know are engaged heavily in policy work, but never had the opportunity to attend a Global IGF due to the lack of funding of their chapters.

At the risk of ruling myself out I disagree with this too, ISOC Chapter leaders are often an administrative function. We need to find means of engaging and supporting those in the trenches doing the hard policy work, those drafting, those bashing out policy positions etc.

- ISOC IGF Ambassadorship program : open to only chapter leaders, with no age restriction. The reason is that the word Ambassadorship means that we need people that already adhere in ISOC principles and vision; no one better than chapter leaders to represent ISOC.
