way to get a list of those folks who were members of the IPN SIG, or would it
be possible to work with you to send a global message announcing the
“resurrection” of that SIG, and inviting interested ISOC

font-family:Helvetica;color:#333333">The most recent meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the Internet Society held in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Dakar</st1:place></st1:city>
prior to ICANN 42 was a testament to a strong collaborative effort and an
alignment of objectives for our work and our organizations. The business
plan, approved with minor adjustments, will be printed and publically available
on our website in the near future. As I will be visiting and addressing
chapters both here at ICANN and at the upcoming INETs in <st1:city w:st="on">Bangalore</st1:city>
and <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Bucharest</st1:place></st1:city>,
I want to take this opportunity to share my enthusiasm with you and to mention
a few areas where ISOC chapters will see significant benefit in 2012.<br>
<br>
As we all understand, The Internet Society Business Plan for 2012 rests on the
pillars of our four overarching strategic goals:<br>
<br>
- Fostering an open, innovative, and trusted Internet
worldwide <br>
- Advancing policies and strategies that strengthen the Internet’s growth
and evolution<br>
- Empowering people to achieve human potential through unencumbered Internet
use<br>
- Enabling a vibrant organisation and vital global community to advance the
Internet’s future<br>
<br>
Our chapters have significant roles to play in the achievement of each of these
goals. ISOC will continue to increase our investment in support of chapters in
a variety of ways, as many of you have expressed. For example, in 2012
there will be increased expenditures in chapter tools including web-hosting,
membership management and overall chapter administration. There will be
additional support for community grants by way of training, templates and ISOC
staff resources. And we will look for additional avenues for chapter
voices and interaction with other key ISOC stakeholders.<br>
<br>
By its clear and engaged support of the 2012 ISOC Business Plan, the Board of
Trustees has provided a strong statement that Chapters continue to be key
components of ISOC's ability to deliver on our shared mission. ISOC
chapter support staff recognize that the quality of our mutual engagement
locally is a cornerstone for the success of an open, resilient and secure
Internet for Everyone. I look forward with great optimism to working with all
of you in continuous pursuit and delivery of this goal.<br>
<br>
With respect,<br>
