Please, see attached new Application to create Azerbaijan ISOC Chapter.<br>
<br>
This application is the result of our discussions, which started at<br>
IGF in Baku and were continued since then. We have formed a discussion<br>
list isoc-az to which all ISOC members living in Azerbaijan have been<br>
invited. In this list, which included over 25 members, the long-term<br>
and short-term program of the Chapter has been discussed and agreed<br>
upon. This was the base of the application draft, which again has been<br>
sent to all ISOC members living in Azerbaijan for final comments.<br>
Comments have been taken into account and with the current e-mail we<br>
send you the final version for your consideration. Let me add add that<br>
this draft has been sent also to Mr Nariman Hajiyev (co-author and<br>
contact person of the previous application) and no objection from his<br>
side has been received.<br>
