may be attending the IETF Meeting next week in </span></font>Minneapolis in the
US. I plan to be there. I will be available mornings (Monday through
Thursday) in the 'Director's Row II' room. I realize there are many issues
currently under debate and would be happy to meet with any of you there. I plan
to be in that room most mornings but will have to be away at some times for
phone calls and the like. Please leave me a note with your phone number if I am
absent when you stop by. </p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=2
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>We can of course discuss
the issues currently under debate, we can talk of ideas for enhanced
communications. It is also important to talk of the important initiatives underway,
with chapter help, in important areas such as WSIS/WGIG. Our recent
intervention at the WSIS Prepcom 2 (which has been sent to you) is an important
effort which was very much helped by many individuals including chapters
members. (The intervention is also available at: <a
href="http://www.isoc.org/isoc/conferences/wsis/documents/intervention-0224.shtml">http://www.isoc.org/isoc/conferences/wsis/documents/intervention-0224.shtml</a>).
My hope is that you will consider such subjects as these, forward them to your
members, to your local press, perhaps hold events concerning WSIS/WGIG and
other important initiatives. </span></font></p>
