The Internet Society's Business Plan sets the direction of Internet Society by establishing the organisation's strategic and management priorities in a two-year planning period.

Beyond the progress and accomplishments from last year, this plan builds on a wide range of inputs from the Internet Society leadership and community.  It highlights a business-planning framework built around, Key Success Factor, Strategic Objectives, and measurable Impacts.

The plan was approved at the most recent meeting of the Board of Trustee’s and highlights the following strategic objectives that the Internet Society will organize its business around:

Fostering an open, innovative, and trusted Internet worldwide.

We are committed to advancing the underlying open and interoperable architecture of the Internet, and its distributed and collaborative means of management and development, as these principles are essential for fostering a stable, open, and trusted Internet upon which innovation can flourish.

Advancing policies and strategies that strengthen the Internet’s growth and evolution.

We aim to influence policy makers, civil society, industry, and others to advance Internet policies and strategies that uphold the critical principles of openness, user-centricity, and stakeholder participation.

Enabling a vibrant organisation and vital global community to advance the Internet’s future.

We aim to further engage our members and the public towards positive action, as well as helping a new generation of Internet leaders, contributors, and innovators to emerge.

Empowering people to achieve human potential through unencumbered Internet use.

We will aim to advance the access and use of the Internet on an open, nondiscriminatory basis, and empower individuals and communities, including the vulnerable and underserved, to maximize the transformative opportunities the Internet enables.
