quite easy and will strength inter-chapter relationship. Thanks for the

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">As part of an initiative to enhance communications and
collaboration between ISOC, ISOC Chapters, and members, we are proposing to have
regular physical meetings/chats. Specifically, several times during the year
there are regional meetings and conferences at which one or more ISOC Trustees
and staff are present. We would like to encourage and further promote
these opportunities to have a chat between all those ISOC members who are
present at the event.</SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></SPAN></FONT> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">We are looking to collaborate, facilitate, and support
these meetings in any way we can. We see these meetings falling into two
different categories. Sometimes, we will want a more formal meeting, with
planned agendas. These would have well-defined topics for discussion,
speakers, and plenty of time for discussion. Other times the meetings will
be more informal, with ISOC Trustees and staff present but with perhaps a
Chapter or Member managing the meeting and agenda.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Several of you are already doing this and your efforts
are appreciated by many. We are particularly supportive of the "virtual
meetings" proposed and organized by Andreu Veà, and we hope this takes hold on a
wider (possibly regional level). We want to thank everyone for their
support and acknowledge the contribution efforts like this make to ISOC and our
mission. The meetings we are proposing are an extension of several
informal programs we have had in the past and reflect the fact that we are
making headway on building up our support infrastructure to chapters and
members.</SPAN></FONT></P>

opportunities where they will be present to meet and participate in these
meetings. Many of them already do this on a regular basis.</SPAN></FONT></P>
