<div>I don't think many would suggest ISOC-NA is not serving as
"a focal point for cooperative efforts to promote the Internet
as a positive tool to benefit all people throughout the world."
Of course, there is always more to do and more issues to cover.</div>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm">Interesting discussion. “...there
is always more to do and more issues to cover” - sure, but that
does not pick up the core of the question: What is the plan of the
North American ISOC Regional Bureau to achieve this in the
USA?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm">This reminds me of a period of long
and intensive discussion twenty or so years ago in Germany related
to
“international development,” where some wanted to limit
this discourse to “international development aid abroad” as "a
really important issue" - while others
insisted that a discussion of the complex problem of international
economic imbalance has to include a discussion of the internal
powers
at play at home.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm">Is it possible to understand - and
act - on international dynamics without tackling similar scenarios
and
challenges and conflicts also at home?</p>
