Our community
The Forum is made possible by the people and organizations who support and contribute to its work. Our community brings together experts, civil society groups, and partners who help shape the global conversation on information and democracy. We rely on their knowledge and collaboration to carry out our mission.

The civil society coalition
To ensure that civil society’s perspectives and expertises are considered and included in the development of norms and standards of the digital space, the Forum has built an international network of 70 organizations spanning 40 countries. This collective is a crucial asset to drive the development and implementation of policies and regulatory measures that effectively address the multifaceted nature of digital challenges.
