Internet Society Special Interest Groups (SIG)

What is a Special Interest Group (SIG)

A SIG is a non-geographical independent entity recognized by the Internet Society. A SIG is formed by Individual Members of the Internet Society to pursue significant long-term activities that support the mission of the Internet Society. 

SIGs have a global scope and have Individual Members of the Internet Society who are also members of a geographical Chapter.
