Welcome to ISOC.nl

ISOC.nl is the Dutch chapter of ISOC. ISOC was founded in 1992 by the people who invented and built the internet "to assure the open development, evolution and use of the Internet for the benefit of all people throughout the world." ISOC works on facilitating a progessively better cooperation of internetprofessionals, organisations, governments, universities and companies towards a better internet, and to further extend the use of the internet for society. The Dutch branch of this truly global organisation, ISOC.nl, was founded in 1997, and is among the largest and most active of its kind in the world.

ISOC.nl is actively involved in achieving and promoting internet standards, researching the use of the internet in democratic and governmental processes and keeping the discussion within and around the internet community alive. If you want to help the internet, become a member of ISOC and join your local chapter. The internet is for everyone, join the Internet Society and make it so!
