<div>Like Ted I believe it is a good plan for Chapters to also run local events that celebrate the anniversary. My concern is that, during the 22-24 period, they may distract from the point of a Global INET - the idea that we all get together, be it in person or online. And also peclude remote participation in the local events.</div>
<div> </div><div>Also, we do, at present only have one webcast channel. We could upgrade temporarily to multiple channels for one month, but it would be expensive.</div><div> </div><div>The IGF uses 'hubs' as a method of communal remote participation. Perhaps some variation on that for the Global INET, plus a seaparate schedule of local followup events over the course of the year might be the way to go.</div>

The idea is to link the global event with smaller (simbolic ) events , organized by chapters, taking place in the same period (22-24 april 2012 ).<br>
We could call them "Internet Spring" , making the link between Isoc 20-th anniversary and the future of Internet.<br>
We intend to use the annual chapter event fund to organize "Primavara internet" - Internet Spring between the 22-24-th april in Romania.<br>
If there are other chapters interested to have a coordinate event in the same period , please let us know.<br>

P.S. If there are some conclusions available from last year Bucharest chapter workshop we will be happy to distribute them to our chapter members . As promised , with help from some other chapters who volunteered during the workshop , we made a small experiment of chapter to chapter collaboration . It is available on <a href="http://www.anuntul.eu/wordpress/" target="_blank">http://www.anuntul.eu/wordpress/</a> . We would like to deliver in 2012 what we promised ourselves in 2011 : a forum making possible cross-collaboration between chapters, based on various topics . We all had an agreement that the hierachical distribution of information Isoc-HQ- Chapter Delegates List- Chapter members is limited and we need at least forums.<br>
