The Internet Society

The Internet Society is a collection of cooperating, interconnected networks that promote and support international collaboration. It seeks to foster the voluntary interconnection of computer networks into a global research and development communications and information infrastructure.

The Society also aims to offer support to organizations involved in the use, operation, and evolution of the Internet by providing support for fora at which technical and operational issues can be ventilated. Additionally, it provides means through which interested audiences can be kept abreast of important developments pertaining to the development of the internet, its function, use, operation, and the interests of its constituents.

Mindful as we are of staying abreast of developments in the discipline of internet technology and its functions as a communication tool, Guyana has established an internet society, The Internet Society of Guyana as a non-governmental organization (NGO), its parent organization being the Internet Society.
