ISOC Individual Membership
Membership Levels
ISOC offers two individual membership levels: the Sustaining Member and the Global Member. Both levels give individuals opportunities to actively participate in ISOC's activities.
Individual memberships are for people who share the goal of supporting ISOC's Mission and Principles and agree to ISOC's code of conduct. Individual members get access to ISOC's conferences, educational events, announcements, briefings, and newsletters. They are invited to participate in ISOC's surveys and discussion groups. Individual members can also participate in ISOC Chapters around the world, helping ISOC to continue to have a global impact by reaching out locally.
The Sustaining Member level includes the additional benefit of allowing individuals to participate in the election of one ISOC Board of Trustee Member, once 500 sustaining members join together under the Organizational Membership plan.
- Join online now as a Sustaining Member (US $75.00 annual charge) or a Global Member (Free).

Join a Local Chapter
All ISOC Sustaining Members and Global Members are encouraged to join a chapter either based near you, or which shares your special interests. If there isn't one, start one! Chapters give you the best way to participate in local Internet activities. The Member Briefings are sent (via email) to all Members and Associate Members on a regular basis.
Regional Bureaus
When you join ISOC, you join a global community. ISOC is now establishing regional bureaus as a focal point for ISOC regional activities including education, capacity building, and policy initiatives. The regional bureaus will work with ISOC Chapters, members, and the regional Internet community to understand and address local issues relating to the development of the Internet.
