<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">Dear colleagues and friends,</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">I am subscribed in a
discussion group "Youth and
Internet Governance" at the TakingITGlobal.org<br>
All of us noticed the importance movement of Youth
for ICT and Youth for Dev at the WSIS in Tunisia.<br>
ISOC has also sponsored the World Summit Youth Award,
and Lynn
noticed
tha the ISOC mission is essentially to "reaches out specifically to
very
important segments, such as young people".<br>
A Youth is defined as being somewhere between age 13
and age 25, and this is the commonly the student age.<br>
Our Tunisian chapter is working actually with the
Tunisian High education minister to create an "ISOC Club" in each
university.<br>
In Tunisia for example this year we had succeed the
initiative of the obligatory online payment and subscription of all the
400 000
student in all Tunisian universities. Our chapter decided to try to
work more
closely with this community.<br>
We are aware about the importance of this community
in the Internet future, that's why I recommend that ISOC create a
"Youth ISOC
Program", as a program to develop the involvement of the youth
community in the
Internet development.<br>
The initiative of ISOC Club in each university may be
a part of this program.<br>
I hope that this idea would be realized.<br>
Regards.</span></p>
