Thanks you Ted,<br>
<br>
with respect to providing a public viewing for INET2012 I got the
feedback from our board that for our membership which is spread over
Germany (and Austria) it doesn't make much difference to go to e.g.
Berlin or Munic or Geneva. So people would rather join life than on
tv.<br>

<pre wrap="">Thanks, Klaus. The dialog on the issue of ISC participation at the Global
INET within this community has been excellent and well informed. Moreover,
there is clearly more agreement than disagreement. Walda has offered to
provide more about how we expect Mme Hu to engage and how we collectively
want to engage her. </pre>

From the chapters discussion so far: it should not so much be about
our expectations on Mme Hu ... its rather how we define and document
our relationship to ISC, and how ISOC will use the unique
opportunity (of Mme Hu's presence) to discuss and learn more about
her and ISC's view on Internet, the need for control (we might call
it censorship), and the implications for the Internet in China.<br>
Looking forward to Walda's statement on this,<br>
<br>

PS/bonus: From the discussions about the new web site I learned that
ISOC communication will be more on <b><i>story telling</i></b>. So
here (<b>skit</b>) the story <b>not</b> to read after INET2012:<br>
<i>Nearly one fifth of the world's population lives in China. T</i><i>he
chairwoman of the Internet Society of China, Mme Hu, brought best
wished and congratulations to INET 2012. In her speach Mme Hu
mentioned that the anniversary of the [</i><i>editor's note: </i><i>international]
Internet Society should be used as an opportunity to strengthen
and extent the long lasting good cooperation between both
organizations. "It is essential" Mme Hu said "that we take extreme
care and any effort to ensure that the Internet does not break
apart and will continue to foster the exchange of information,
contribute to the wealth of all people and helps to ensure peace
on earth." She mentioned that the Internet society of China
strongly supports the </i><i>[</i><i>editor's note: </i><i>international]
Internet Society's mission to make the Internet accessible for
everyone. </i><i>Mme Hu was a member of the UN research program
“Science, Technology and Innovation”, and has been a member of
WGIG (Working Group on Internet Governance) in 2004-2005. The
Internet Society of China is in charge of providing important
central services for the Chinese Internet as there are Domain Name
Services and policy enforcement. Lynn St. Amour, President/CEO of
the </i><i>[</i><i>editor's note: </i><i>international] Internet
Society thanked Mme Hu emphasizing Mme Hu's long lasting
engagement for the </i><i>Chinese </i><i>Internet, which might
not even exist without Mme Hu's continued commitment. Both
organizations signed an agreement on closer cooperation while
disregarding minor differences of opinion with regard to Internet
regulation. Unfortunately the tense program of INET2012 gave only
room for a few questions. </i><br>
