Dear All,

The Internet Society is inviting applications for its 2017 Ambassadors to the Internet Governance Forum (IGF). IGF Ambassadors will gain valuable insight and experience through their exposure to a range of stakeholders and discussions from numerous disciplines across the Internet ecosystem and benefit from their immersion into the IGF week of activities.

The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) serves to bring people together from various stakeholder groups as equals, in discussions on public policy issues relating to the Internet. While there are no negotiated outcomes, the IGF informs and inspires those with policy-making power in both the public and private sectors. At their annual meeting delegates discuss, exchange information and share good practices with each other. The IGF facilitates a common understanding of how to maximize Internet opportunities and address risks and challenges that arise.

Ambassadorships will be awarded through a competitive application process. The Internet Society is currently accepting applications for the following:

* 12^th Annual Internet Governance Forum, December 17-21, 2017, Geneva, Switzerland

Information about the programme and links to apply can be found at: http://bit.ly/1TxHeuA.

Applications will close on 6 August, 2017 and successful candidates will be notified on 28 August, 2017.

I encourage you to apply for this opportunity or pass this information about the programme to individuals in your network that have a keen interest in the Internet governance and policy activities of the IGF.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Niel Harper at harper@isoc.org.

Regards,
