Asia Pacific yIGF was first initiated by NetMission.Asia since 2010. It is organized and facilitated by NetMission ambassadors in conjunction with the Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum (APrIGF) annually, to raise awareness and build the capacity for youth to join the Internet governance discussions. Based on the mandate of IGF to bring people together from various stakeholder groups as equals, YIGF provides an open platform for the young generation to express and interchange their ideas and own thoughts on internet governance freely. You may find more details about yIGF on our social media page.
The Charter for the Asia Pacific Youth Internet Governance Forum (the “yIGF.Asia”) endeavors to shed light on several aspects of the initiative. The Charter begins with Chapter One which confers on the name and history of the yIGF.Asia. In fathoming the values that this initiative endorses in-depth, the vision, mission, and principles are also elucidated in Chapter Two. Chapter Three will follow which stipulates the membership eligibility that determines whether such a person is competent to be included in the organizing committee and sub-committee. By diverging the committees into the Organizing Committee and Sub-committee, the roles, and responsibilities of respective committees are also illuminated in Chapter Six and Chapter Seven. The Charter will be of assistance to weigh on what are the work ethics of these committees and to enumerate the procedures pertaining to the election of the Sub-committee. Lastly, the Charter will furnish information vis-a-vis communication amongst the members and the process of amendment to the Charter.
