SIG Topic Selection Process
SIG Topic Selection Process
Our SIG topics are proposed and selected by Internet Society members every two years. Each SIG is active for a two-year cycle and may then continue for additional cycles depending on whether it is selected for the upcoming cycle during the SIG topic voting process. The following SIGs are no longer active, but Internet Society members can still take part in discussions around the topics via the Community Groups in the Internet Society membership portal:
- Internet of Things (IoT) SIG (2023-2024)
- Online Safety SIG (2024-2025)
