The launch of this new domain name with a new website will surely enhance the image of the Internet Society worldwide. I think the chapters should take action and register the domain name “internetsociety.ccTLD” in their respective countries. I know It is not going to be easy in many countries.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Here in Cameroon, we're still fighting to gain possession of the domain name “isoc.cm” because it was recorded by an accredited registrar of.

I want to assure you that the decision taken was based on months of research and individual input from many chapter members. "Internet Society" is not intended to replace "ISOC" from either a naming point of view or in the online expression through domain names. Rather, InternetSociety.org provides a way for the community and the organization to be more understandable to, and approachable by, people who are not already familiar with our community. "ISOC" and ISOC.org will continue to be used where they are most appropriate and effective. The intent and belief is that this change adds to the brand and addresses a wider audience. While some may be concerned of the work now undertaken by chapters to accommodate it, this naming addition has been done with the utmost consideration of both current and future chapters and members. The Internet Society Staff and a great many chapter members believe this change will be for the long term benefit of all.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Thank you for you continued participation and commitment to The Internet Society and the Internet for Everyone.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>With sincere regards, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Ted Mooney</span><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Sr. Director, Membership & Services</span><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The Internet Society</span><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="http://www.isoc.org">www.isoc.org</a></span><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Direct Line: 703.439.2774</span><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Cell: 301.980.6446</span><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
