Internet Society Open Board Forum

The Open Board Forum is a virtual meeting between the ISOC community and the ISOC Trustees which serves as an open platform to facilitate exchange of ideas, provide feedback and suggestions or ask any specific questions relating to the current and future direction of the organisation.

Since 2016, there have been four Open Board Forum meetings that took place alongside the busy Board meeting schedule, each time at a weekend and always in different time zones. In a bid to make this more convenient for you, the Board of Trustees of the Internet Society is moving the next one to a weekday.

This Open Board Forum took place virtually on June 20, 2018 at 14:00 UTC. You can watch the recording:
