>> *About the **Internet Governance Forum* <https://www.intgovforum.org/>
>> * (IGF)*
>>
>> The Internet’s influence has touched people all over the globe. In 2003
>> and 2005, the United Nations organized the World Summit on the Information
>> Society (WSIS). One of the most critical outcomes from this landmark summit
>> was the creation of the Internet Governance Forum, or the "IGF".  Each year

>> world.
>>
>>
>>
>> Every IGF offers a unique space for an amazing range of people to share
>> information and develop solutions on key Internet issues. It was
>> purposefully designed not to be a decision-making body, *which allows
>> people to speak freely, on an equal footing*, without limitations linked
>> to the negotiations of formal outcomes. What comes out of the IGF, however,

>>
>> *Take Part in the Forum*
>>
>> Those individuals chosen as ISOC Ambassadors to IGF take part in the
>> forum itself, providing subject matter expertise and facilitating the
>> exchange of information and best practices with key stakeholders
>> participating in the meetings. In the lead up to the Forum itself, each
>> ambassador will participate in an online course for four weeks and will be
>> paired with a mentor – an experienced IGF participant, often a former
>> recipient of this award – who will help them prepare and familiarize
>> themselves with the relevant IGF materials, as well as acting as a point of
>> contact at the meeting itself.
>>
>>
>>
>> Ambassadors represent the Internet Society by promoting the
>> organization’s positions on public policy issues related to the discussions
>> happening at the IGF <https://www.internetsociety.org/igf>. They also
>> contribute by providing local and regional perspectives and opinions to
>> enhance the quality of the various sessions and workshops.
