http://www.isoc.org/pubpolpillar/igfambassadors/img/ambassadors-booth.jpg

Applications are now closed.

As part of the ISOC Internet Leaders programme, the Ambassador programme is designed to involve members in ISOC’s global engagement activities while providing valuable expertise and know-how to IGF meetings – read more on www.intgovforum.org. ISOC’s Ambassadors help to explain and promote ISOC’s positions on public policy issues related to the themes of the IGF. Ambassadors add their significant local and regional experience and insight to discussions and interventions during the sessions and workshops. The Ambassadors are also expected to take home first-hand experience of the IGF and to continue to drive local ISOC activities, particularly as they relate to Internet governance issues. The objective is also for them to continue participating in global discussions on Internet governance.

Vanessa Cravo (Brazil), IGF Ambassador and Tracy Hackshaw (Trinidad & Tobago), Returning IGF Ambassador
ISOC has participated at all stages of WSIS and the follow-on IGF. In this process we have succeeded in gaining significant recognition for our positions which support an open and globally accessible Internet. Much of this has been achieved through cooperation with our Chapters, members, and partner organizations from around the world. We believe that the IGF provides a very useful platform for open dialogue on the challenges and opportunities that face the Internet, its governance and the role it will play in empowering individuals and contributing to social and economic development around the globe.
