In Canada are chapter is Region 7 and spans Canada and is 4% of the IEEE membership of over 400,000. <a href="http://www.ieee.org">www.ieee.org</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>For your information IEEE has created a program to establish SIGHT locations. </div><div><br></div><div>Special Interest Groups on Humanitarian Technologies (SIGHT)</div><div><br></div><div>Note that the mandate of IEEE is to bring the benefits of technology to the entire world. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Since ISOC's vision is "Internet for Everyone" I believe some of you might be interested in forming a SIGHT group in your location. All you need is an idea and 8 signatures of reps or student branches. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If you are not IEEE members I would suggest linking up with your local IEEE Chapters to form a SIGHT location</div><div><br></div><div>A small about of seed funds are available as a start but it taps you into your local region and chapter for future support and expertise. </div>
