<div dir="ltr"><div>I think there is hope, during the ICANN public meeting in Durban, African Chapters met the CEO and ISOC staff. A lot of issues raised in this debate came to the floor and were debated, i am glad the CEO and other senior staff listened attentively, i am sure with the right will we will certainly find a solution, i would like to encourage our friends from Cambodia that they are not alone, we need to find a collective solution to the problem, we have come too far to back down.<br>

We started our organization independently of ISOC back in 2010, but we<br>
got rechartered early 2013 as an ISOC Chapter, so we basically rewrote<br>
our bylaws to meet the guidelines. Including all the bits and pieces<br>
that Veni pointed out.<br>
<br>
Anyway. I remember from a much earlier email that at some point ISOC<br>
HQ was actually supporting the local Chapters financially. Can some<br>
old-timer remind us all when, why, and how all that changed?<br>
