Volunteer committees
The forum is run by these volunteer committees. Applications to join them are currently closed.
Steering
Oversees the organisation of the event, sets the strategic direction, and liaises with the other national and regional initiatives (NRIs) of the Internet Governance Forum.
Programme
Develops the Liberia IGF agenda: the overarching themes, the sessions and their formats, with the Liberian and local context, current issues and the interests of every stakeholder group in mind. It selects and invites speakers with representation and diversity in mind, and may run public consultations to inform its decisions.
Sponsorship
Raises operational funds and in‑kind contributions. It sets sponsorship goals and builds the sponsorship package, including the funding tiers and their benefits, and identifies and approaches potential sponsors.
Community support
Runs the Liberia IGF Fellowship Programme, with travel funding and mentoring for students, and funds travel for speakers from under‑resourced organisations. It decides how funding is split between speakers and students, sets the criteria and application process for students, reviews applications and selects recipients. It also promotes networking and engagement between events.
Event execution
Makes sure the event runs smoothly. It finds and approaches venue sponsors and handles the logistics of the day: food and drink, ticketing, language, attendee questions and participation, and accessibility. It also recruits and coordinates the volunteers.
