<div>I fully concur with your astute observation! I have raised the same issue with the Africa Bureau on every occasion I have met with staff members. For instance, I learnt about the IXP project in my country a few days before a workshop was held in conjunction
with the ministry of communications, ISOC Global (Jane Coffin, Dir. Int'l Strategy ISOC Global was in town) and the AU. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have also wondered why ISOC spends a great deal of time proselytizing on the multistakeholder model, and an open, unencumbered internet when some of the governments ISOC Global is cooperating with have no intention of adopting any of these core principles.
The local chapters can have a strong influence in helping our governments and other stakeholders (ISPs etc...) adopt best practices (policies, technical,...) and values eschewed by ISOC, if they are empowered accordingly. This only makes sense for after all,
we are on our home soil and understand better than any outsider the real issues on the ground.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hopefully, this will be considered going forward.</div>

<div>Hi Michuki,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Could you possibly probably give me an update on the I root server installation progress here in Rwanda, I got this info from Patrick <span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; font-size:14px">Fältström </span>(<a href="mailto:paf@frobbit.se" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; font-size:14px" target="_blank">paf@frobbit.se</a>)
and thought that this could be a good thing for the chapter if you could at least involve us in this project.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is one of the things that keep governments away from chapters as they always realize that they can get every support from ISOC Global without going or having any interaction whatsoever from ISOC chapters, and that is where they say: what is the use
of these chapters anyway?<br>
<br>
I understand these might be contracts that ISOC wins on a global scale however by us chapters learning from an outsider that there is an ISOC project going on within our country makes us look like the least unprofessional team ever in our local internet community...sort
of the last ones to be informed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How can we ask Government to involve ISOC chapters in internet related issues in their respective countries if ISOC Global does not always involve those very chapters in the works that it is doing with those governments. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please let me for any comments, thanks.</div>

Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.
