"What every Civil Society Organization should Know about its use of the 
Internet and Never Dared to Ask!"

We are pleased to invite you the first of a series of webinars and face-to-face 
dialogs addressing the vital operational concerns and strategic uses of the 
Internet for non-profits and non-governmental organizations.
Civil Society and Non-Governmental Organizations are the Internet’s largest 
stakeholder group, and they are becoming increasingly dependent on how the 
Internet operates in order to carry out work in pursuit of their vision and 
Mission. 
This regional Pathfinder webinars and dialogues series is designed to address 
vital operational concerns, explore challenges and present effective strategic 
uses of the Internet by Civil Society and NGO organizations. Presenters from 
Internet stakeholder groups will address issues that directly impact Civil

session. The first was in Washington D.C. in early January. There are more to
