Goals / Remit
The Internet Society (ISOC) is a global non-profit organization with a mission to promote the open development, evolution, and use of the Internet for the benefit of all people throughout the world. The Internet Society was founded in 1992 by the “fathers of the Internet”, Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn. For more than 20 years now, the Internet Society has supported the development of fundamental Internet technology, and promoted transparency and a multistakeholder, bottom-up approach in addressing global Internet governance issues.
To help achieve our mission, we work on championing public policies that enable open access; facilitating the open development of standards, protocols, and the technical infrastructure of the Internet; and supporting capacity building and access to the Internet in developing countries. A primary focus of our public policy work is Internet governance, but we also work on other policy issues related to the openness of the Internet. Regarding open standards (...)Main EU files targeted
The Internet Society’s work is based upon our fundamental belief that the Internet is for everyone. We work in a multi-stakeholder fashion towards an Internet that is open, globally-connected, trustworthy and secure. Because the Internet impacts all of us, we work with partners globally of all shapes and sizes to make sure we can address a wide range of social, economic, and policy issues that interfere with an open and sustainable Internet.
In the context of the European Union, we follow a number of policy and legislative initiatives:
• EU initiatives and positions in the area of global Internet governance;
• Digital Single Market strategy;
• EU initiatives linked to cyber security.Address
