Hello Leslie,<br><br>It is good to see ISOC taking an active part in
the RANS meeting as also in several other meetings and events around
the world. On this issue Alejandro wrote <br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">"what do we need as chapters?
In thisinstance, I think it is the

intelligently in public-policy discussionns in-country."<br></div><br>ISOC
does intelligently intervene in public policy discussions, but I notice
a set pattern that it adopts worldwide in its efforts to help shape
public policy. In Europe, in United States, in countries such as
Australia, a certain approach- that of participting in public policy
forums or conferences, would help contribute to the local public
policy. In certain other countries, policy changes happen in complete
disregard of public debates or discussions in a conference. So what
would consitute an effective measure to contribute to the policy making
process of the European Parliamentary process may be completely be an
ineffective method in certain other regions. What may be required in
such situations is a different form of involvement, a different sytle
of diplomay and a completely different approach. Perhaps a meeting
with the Leaders, perhaps a meeting with the Business Leaders, or a
meeting with the leading journalists of the local press.. ISOC may
have to think of strategies to suit regions in addition to standard
efforts to take part in conferences and meetings.<br><font color="#888888">

Hi,<br>
<br>
A brief word about our involvement in the upcoming RANS meeting in Russia: yes, we are sponsoring the event, and intending to take an active role in the agenda. We are doing this very much *because* we would like the opportunity to communicate the open Internet model in Russia.<br>
<br>
In terms of actual contributions -- Lynn will have a prepared message for the opening of the event, and Standards & Technology's John Schnizlein may wind up reading it out to the opening plenary. Apart from that, we have offered a talk on DNSSEC/DNS Security (John's area of focus), and are having troubles getting confirmation that it will be part of the main conference agenda. Additionally, since our level of sponsorship allows for a booth at the conference, we are sending along some basic background materials (as we did to the ITU WTPF meeting) -- now translated into Russian, as well as the other UN languages.<br>
<br>
So -- that's our current plan. Comments and help welcome :-)<br>
<br>
Leslie.<div class="im"><br>

Not sure what your question is. What would you like to see said and/or<br>
done, and by whom?<br>

First, I think it is good to know, since we don't have a chapter there.<br>
<br>
I heard that ISOC will be present on an upcoming conference in Moscow<br>
and I think we might want to present our position there and probably to<br>
gain some ground to carry out ISOC's mission in Russia.<br>
<br>
Besides that I think this case is worth watching since I can imagine<br>
there are many other countries following the same pattern, for example<br>
ex-Soviet countries in Central Asia, where there is still one<br>
telecommunications company and some people hardly imagine that one might<br>
need more than one.<br>
