promote the development of Internet governance as a recognized, interdisciplinary field of study;
advance theoretical and applied research on Internet governance, broadly defined, and;
facilitate informed dialogue on policy issues and related matters between scholars and Internet governance stakeholders (governments, international organizations, the private sector, and civil society).
