+The European Internet Foundation (EIF) was founded in March 2000 by three Members of the European Parliament  (MEP) from 3 different political groups: James Elles, Erika Mann and Elly Plooij-van Gorsel. In 2014 it changed its name into 'European Internet Forum' to better reflect its 'raison d'etre'.
-INHOPE is an active and collaborative network of 51 hotlines in 45 countries worldwide, dealing with illegal content online and committed to stamping out child sexual abuse (CSAM) from the Internet.
 ==Mission Statement==
-The mission of INHOPE is to support and enhance the work of hotlines to strengthen the International efforts to combat child sexual abuse using a multi stakeholder approach. The achievement of this mission is underpinned by the following five key objectives of the network.
+EIF’s mission is to help provide European political leadership for the development of European and multilateral public policies responsive to the political, economic and social challenges of the worldwide digital transformation, and support MEPs from all political groups to ensure that Europe remains at the forefront of this transformation and benefits fully from it through enhanced global competitiveness and social progress.
-==Objectives==
+EIF focuses on issues and actions at the top of the political agenda and on emerging future trends at both European and global level. Through a continuous programme of live debates and special projects featuring open and inclusive dialogue, EIF creates a space for greater understanding of the digital world.
-* To establish policies and best practice standards for hotlines and encourage exchange of expertise among members through fostering good working relationships and trust.
-* To ensure rapid and effective response to illegal content reports around the world by developing consistent, effective and secure mechanisms for exchanging reports between Hotlines internationally and ensuring a coordinated approach is taken.
-* To expand the network of INHOPE Hotlines around the world by identifying and supporting new Hotlines to become members by providing consultation and training to meet best practice standards.
-* To promote a better understanding of the work of hotlines to policymakers at an international level, including government, law enforcement and other related bodies, with the aim of achieving better co-operation internationally.
+==Members==
+The European Internet Forum is led and governed by our Political Members, all of whom are elected Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). We are independent, not-for-profit and non-partisan. Membership in the European Internet Forum is open to all current MEPs.
+EIF membership also includes a variety of leading companies and organisations which together encompass a broad range of interests and actors in the vanguard of internet and ICTs. We continually seek to expand the breadth and depth of interests and points of view within the EIF membership on a non-discriminatory basis.
+The Forum is financed primarily through the membership fees of our Business and Associate Members.
+Functioning as a real “network organisation”, EIF provides all its members with the opportunity to actively participate in its activities and to help shape EIF’s programme and event agendas.
-* To raise awareness of INHOPE and member hotlines with key stakeholders as well as the general public as a "one stop shop" for global reports of illegal content from around the world especially Child Sexual Abuse Material.
