private companies, all of them are giving their support for the creation<br>
of this chapter in our country, We have a really important support by<br>
SUTEL and FONATEL (fondo nacional de las telecomunicaciones "national<br>
fund for telecommunications"), they want to give monetary support for<br>
the proposed projects by the ISOC-CR Chapter, the other organizations<br>
will help us with knowledge and once the chapter is created they will<br>
give more support in other areas as well.<br>
<br>
F. List of Requirements<br>
We don’t have any problem in order to create the chapter, the source of<br>
our inquiries was the treasury of our country (http:<a href="http://www.hacienda.go.cr" target="_blank">www.hacienda.go.cr</a>)<br>
also we did this questions to several lawyers.<br>
<br>
G. Additional Information<br>
Please indicate here any additional information you believe would be<br>
helpful to our initial review.<br>
The motivation that I had for this project of the creation of the ISOC<br>
Costa Rica chapter creation, is due to the ISOC works and how it<br>
accomplish all the proposed tasks to the internet community, I've been<br>
given the opportunity to be part of two meetings of the IETF by this<br>
program (ISOC Fellowship to the IETF Programme), and also all the<br>
support that Mr. Sebastian Bellagamba has give me in order to start this<br>
project.<br>
<br>
Costa Rica on the last years has been a point of inversion by many<br>
companies, also the telecomunications was a monopoly by the goverment<br>
until 2008, now other companies are available to work in this field as<br>
well, and they are starting to get into Costa Rica, this could get us a<br>
better internet penetration level. This give us an insight that Costa<br>
Rica will need an organization to look over the end user interests and<br>
to be a neutral point between all the actors of this new development of<br>
internet in our country.<br>
