Strategic Global Engagement
WSIS and the IGF have focused considerable attention on the issues of Internet governance. However, these forums are not alone in advancing the discussion of Internet governance and related policy issues. Many other orgnizations and forums around the world also deal with these issues. ISOC has long been recognized as a trusted partner of many important organisations, such as OECD, ITU, UNESCO, and others.
To advance these partnerships and ensure that the Internet Society's principles are strongly represented at the highest levels, ISOC has a program of Strategic Global Engagement. Under this program, ISOC will continue to pursue partnership development at the international level and will represent the principles and interests of the international ISOC community.
