Dear Internet Society members;

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 
<http://www.isoc.org/leaders>, 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.
