Colleagues,

As we all know, the upcoming IGF in Lillestrøm is not just another meeting. It represents one of the last major opportunities for the global multistakeholder community to consolidate its positions ahead of the WSIS+20 review, starting with the WSIS HLE in July. The stakes for the future of the Internet governance model and the Internet itself are exceptionally high.

The Internet Society will be deeply engaged. We've outlined our approach in a new post, "The Internet Society at IGF 2025 in Norway," which details our planned contributions to these critical discussions. https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2025/06/the-internet-society-at-igf-2025-in-norway-the-who-what-when-where-and-why/

For those planning your schedules, our complete list of activities is here: https://www.internetsociety.org/events/igf/2025/our-activities/

Our delegation hopes to connect with many of you there… and be sure to stop by our booth! Here’s a friendly IGF greeting from Chris Locke, Jenn Beard, Isra Rosas, and Tatiana Tropina: https://vimeo.com/1093728434

Let’s use this time to ensure a strong, coherent voice for the multistakeholder model as we move toward the final review.

Regards, Joe
