The Internet Society (ISOC) is happy to announce a new programme beginning in 2010: the ISOC Next Generation Leaders (NGL) programme.

The NGL was officially launched 6 October 2009 at a youth forum lunch during the ITU Telecom World week in Geneva. The programme is aimed at emerging talents across the globe, between the ages of 20 and 40, and is a unique blend of coursework and practical experience to help prepare young professionals from around the world to become the next generation of Internet technology, policy, and business leaders. More information on the programme, including an information brochure available in the six official UN languages, can be found at http://www.isoc.org/leaders .

This programme is a great opportunity to enhance and expand the ISOC community we request that you assist us in promoting the programme. ISOC would be grateful if you could share this information with any interested parties and encourage them 1) to join ISOC if not already a member, and 2) register to the NGL mailing list: https://www.isoc.org/leaders/application.php?s=2

Those signed up to the mailing list will receive programme information including application details as they are sent out.

If you have further questions email leaders@InternetSociety.org
