<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><br><div>In the last year the Internet Society has expanded its Asia presence, opening an office in Singapore. That office has then set about further engaging the community, and INET Bangkok is just one example of that. Thailand has been a longstanding member of the ISOC family with a chapter established in 1996, and the .th domain is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary. The first INET Bangkok event, the VIP Gala dinner, marks that milestone. It starts in a few minutes. There may or may not be a webcast of that. The conference proper starts tomorrow, i.e. tonight in NYC, and Paul Brigner of ISOC's North America Bureau has travelled over with his kit, so we can hope for some of the glorious HD for which he is known. I expect their will be live transcription and translation, but I am yet to establish links. Keep an eye on twitter or the noticeboard.<br>

The conference will be preceded by a VIP gala dinner on June 6 at which the .TH group (Thailand ccTLD) will celebrate their 25th anniversary. The conference will be webcast via the Internet Society Channel, with the Internet Society Chapters Channel catching some of the overflow. Bangkok is UTC+7 thus 11 hours ahead of NYC.</p>
