Founded in 1992 by pioneers of the early Internet, the Internet Society drives technologies that keep it open and safe. We promote policies that empower people to enable universal access for all. 2

The Internet Society at Work Promotes Internet technologies that matter Provides leadership in policy issues Advocates open Internet standards Develops Internet infrastructure Undertakes outreach that changes lives Recognizes industry leaders

Global Presence Our global community of members and Chapters span over 230 countries, territories, and areas of geographic interest world-wide. NORTH AMERICA LATIN AMERICA/CARIBBEAN EUROPE AFRICA MIDDLE EAST ASIA

IETF The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is the premiere Internet standards organization. The Internet Society is the organizational home of the IETF.

Trust Access Our Priorities Restoring trust and connecting the unconnected are key to realizing an Internet of opportunity for everyone. Trust Without trust, the Internet cannot deliver its potential benefit to the entire world. Users must view the Internet as a safe and reliable means to communicate, and be willing to use online services for commerce, government, and social interaction. Access We believe Internet access is a key enabler for economic, social, and human development. But only half the world is connected and the rate of Internet access growth is decreasing. Issues such as trust in the Internet have joined cost and availability as barriers to access.

Policy The Internet Society champions public policies that enable open access. We operate collaboratively and inclusively with governments, national and international organizations, civil society, private sector, and other parties to reach decisions about the Internet that conform with our core values. We work in a multi-stakeholder fashion towards the development of an open and sustainable Internet for the benefit of all people. Because the Internet impacts all of us, we work with partners around the globe to make sure we can address a wide range of social, economic, and policy issues that interfere with an open and sustainable Internet.

Open Development Standards The Internet is based on the existence of open, non-proprietary standards. They are key to allowing devices, services, and applications to work together across a wide and dispersed network of networks. Some of the core groups behind the development of the standards are: The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF); The Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) and; The Internet Architecture Board (IAB). These organizations are open, transparent, and rely on a bottom-up consensus-building process to develop standards. They help make sure open standards have freely accessible specifications, are unencumbered, have open development and are continuously evolving.

The value of collaboration – Keys to Successful Collaboration There must be a unifying purpose. There can be any number of participants in a successful collaboration, and they can have a range of different perspectives on what a good outcome looks like, but the participants must be united in their desire for an outcome. Involved participants are committed and focused. The experience of successful collaboration includes skillful contributions that move discussions and actions forward towards a desired outcome. These contributions are regular, consistent, and timely. Forward action requires crossing boundaries and changing practices: Collaboration is more than the cooperation of individuals or organizations contributing their existing expertise. It ultimately requires action that reaches beyond traditional boundaries and/or creation of new processes. Competitors cooperate. New ground is explored. A successful outcome is measured in terms that are broader than individual gain. There is a desired "good" toward which people are collaborating. That "good" can be something grand and exciting for everyone, or can be some outcome that is the "least bad." Yet, this is measured across a broad range of participants, rather than from the point-of-view of any single individual. Participants accept that the outcome may not reflect any immediate advances for their own activities.

ISOC’s Collaborative Security Framework Collaborative Security is an approach that is characterized by five key elements: Fostering confidence and protecting opportunities: The objective of security is to foster confidence in the Internet and to ensure the continued success of the Internet as a driver for economic and social innovation. Collective Responsibility: Internet participants share a responsibility towards the system as a whole. Fundamental Properties and Values: Security solutions should be compatible with fundamental human rights and preserve the fundamental properties of the Internet — the Internet Invariants. Evolution and Consensus: Effective security relies on agile evolutionary steps based on the expertise of a broad set of stakeholders. Think Globally, act Locally: It is through voluntary bottom-up self-organization that the most impactful solutions are likely to reached.
