MEMBERSHIP IN THE INTERNET SOCIETY
for
Corporations, Educational Institutions, Libraries
and Other Interested Organizations
The Internet Society is a new, individual, international, professional
membership organization, now being formed, which will provide a
focus for evolution of the Internet technology, and promote the
use of the Internet for research, scholarly communication and
collaboration. The Society expects to begin full-scale operation
by the end of 1991.
The Internet Society is being organized under the auspices of the
Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), EDUCOM and RARE.
CNRI is a non-profit organization, incorporated in the District of
Columbia, U.S.A., to conduct scientific and educational research

The main offices of CNRI are located at 1895 Preston White Drive,
Suite 100, Reston, Virginia, 22091, U.S.A. The Internet Society is,
at present, being administered by CNRI, and CNRI's Federal

Organizations may also join the Internet Society and contribute
to its operation and evolution. By joining before 1993,
organizations have an opportunity to become Founding Members,
receiving special recognition in Society publications and
functions. All organizational members receive discounts for
selected Society functions and services, complimentary copies of
Society publications and an opportunity to designate a
representative to the Internet Society Advisory Council.
