The IGF facilitates a common understanding of how to maximize Internet opportunities and address risks and challenges that arise.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""> </span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify; background-color: white;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Ambassadorships will be awarded through a competitive application process.
