<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" lang="en-US">$150 might not seem
like a
lot of money to some but more than that is the message that
it's
being sent by ISOC . I do not think it reflects "<i>...</i><font

work you
do...</i></font></font>".</p>

-ed, just to put this figure into perspective (not that I say the
following is "precise" but it gives some hints) what $150 means as
the fee to participate in Geneva as an ISOC member. - Even if
somebody paid my ticket, this is out for me (my salary, for may
year, had nothing to do with my passport nationality - my choice to
work with Cambodian NGOs). And this mail is not to blame any
individual - it is just a plea that those who are in the upper ten
groups in the list down here should not forget the lower ten groups
when making general statements in the name of ISOC - "The internet
is for everyone."<br>

Or just hide and change this slogan.<br>
