IGF Remote is a coalition of inter-connected participants linked by a common dedication to the commitment of the furtherance of Internet Governance discussion and development. Physically based at a major population nexus of the Mojave Desert, the digital and virtual extent of our communications apparatus is literally worldwide and aims to be demographically heterogeneous (i.e., universally inclusive, to say nothing of multicultural).

For the time being, the core hub of our working group consists of a relatively small and mobile community of committed Information Society adherents. A background well-versed in Information Technology is a common denominator, though the individual specializations range from the technical engineering disciplines to pursuits compatible with the deployment and dispersal of strategic language and design, all the way to the more pragmatic organizational capacity necessary for the scalable and sustainable infrastructure of the working group.

With a stated and restated commitment to the development of emerging awareness and visibility, our community initiatives have historically and recently served to further policy dialogue — as well as the robust exchange of issues and cross-cutting discourse. The scope of the development and deployment of use and abuse of Internet Governance and the Information Society at large is our prime capacity building mechanism.

From Dynamic Coalitions to Remote Hubs, we believe that each derivation of the community at large is a scalable source of focus. Collaboration as a mission statement is not only achievable but sustainable, in our opinion, and any interested parties that share our robust commitment to connectivity may be highly encouraged to convene multistakeholder dimensions of the overall endeavor.

We strongly resist designation as a consortium, but at the same time cannot deny any appellation to the contrary.

The five-year mandate of the Internet Governance Forum is merely a skeleton upon which the true achievements of the Internet Governance movement shall be erected. The current and past achievements that the IGF may already claim are impressive enough, but we firmly believe that nothing but scalable improvement is possible in the immediate and foreseeable future!
