Dear Internet Society members;
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>IGF 2011 Ambassadors Programme – Call for Applications</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div>As part of the Internet Society’s <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.isoc.org/leaders">Next Generation Leaders
programme</a>, 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).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"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."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The deadline for applications is Friday, 27 May 2011.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
