GigaNet welcomes observers

As of May 2011, GigaNet participation is open to those who have not yet had the chance to extensively contribute to scholarly literature on Internet Governance, but who wish to participate in the GigaNet community, enhancing its intellectual exchange. The newly proposed observer status is designated for post-graduate students as well as all IG and ICT community members, who would like to take active part in the academic debate on the shape and future of Internet Governance.

The observer status allows participants to make full use of all the GigaNet features, such as the members mailing lists and all the website insights. It does not include the possibility to run ifor GigaNet offices, however does not eliminate the possibility to re-apply for full membership, once the membership criteria are met by the observer (more IG peer-reviewed papers are published or a post-graduate degree is obtained).

The details of the status are now available on the GigaNet webpage: http://giga-net.org/page/membership-1.

Please feel free to direct any queries to the Membership Committee Chair, Joanna Kulesza at joannakulesza|at|gmail|dot|com.
