Dear ISOC England members,


please find below, an invite to the UK Internet Governance Forum. We
realise that this is short notice and is already fully booked but the
organisers are running a waiting list and it might therefore be useful
for members in London to register.

ISOC England is looking forward to take a more active role in next
year's UK Internet Governance Forum. If you are interested in being part
of the ISOC England Team which will focus on this, please be so kind to
email us at contact at isoc-e.org

Also -- you might have received an email from ISOC Global regarding
their 20th anniversary celebrations taking place in Geneva:

Registration is still open and several of us will be attending.

Finally, just a quick reminder that our Web site is changing on:

As time progresses, we will be populating it with more ISOC England
archives and new material.

Whether in London or in Geneva, I hope that we'll meet soon in person.

opportunity for the first meeting of the UK-IGF to prepare for the 2012
Internet Governance Forum.

 

This year's Forum, chaired by Sarah Montague of the Today programme,
will feature a range of speakers, panel debates and workshops on the

thought-provoking debate to contribute to policy developments within .uk
