"Internet Governance" is a broad term used in many different contexts, applying to activities as diverse as coordination of technical standards, operation of critical infrastructure, development, regulation, and legislation, among others. Internet governance is not restricted to the activities of governments. Many different types of stakeholders have a role in defining and carrying out Internet governance activities and the Internet Society has always been an active leader in such discussions.
In 2003, global attention turned to the notion of Internet governance with the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) held in Geneva in 2003 and Tunis in 2005. The Internet Society has been fully engaged in the Internet Governance debate since the very beginning, as a firm advocate of the open Internet model, based on bottom-up and collaborative policy and standards development processes, involving all stakeholders.
The principal objective of SIG Sri Lankais to train professionals in the domain of Internet Governance, equipping them with the skills to enable them to participate effectively in global Internet Governance processes and institutions. SIG Sri Lankais planned as an annual school that would be held in different parts of India each year.
The Sri Lankan Internet Governance Forum (Sri Lankan IGF) attempted to bring people together from various stakeholder groups as equals, in discussions on public policy issues relating to the Internet. Thus in this year IGF Sri Lanka has introduced School of Internet Governance as a Pre-Event.
The value of the SIG Sri Lanka is LKR 14,000/= and Subsided for LKR 7,000/=. The Students who get selected can apply fellowships. Few organizations are ready to support the Fellowships scheme.
