+1 to what Veni said. A handful of Chapters were able to send people
as part of their country delegation and it really made a difference
to the outcome.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<div>It would be good to see some plans on supporting chapters
delegates to participate at the WTDC as members of the isoc
delegation or as members of their respected countries'
delegations. </div>
<div> We have talked about it for the WCIT, but back then isoc
didn't support any chapter. Isoc-bulgaria nevertheless was able
to send several people, who were very helpful, not only sitting
on the last row, but actually participating actively and
providing precious support to governments. <span></span><br>

a critical year and we wanted to share two near-term
targets where we could use your help and expertise
—(1) IXP Toolkit & Best Practices Report &

World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC):</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-align:justify"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-align:justify">1. Throughout 2013 we
updated you on the IXP Toolkit & Best Practices
Project. To refresh memories – this is a grant
project that aims to promote and enhance IXP
development, the project tries to:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-indent:0.5in">- consolidate and document
best practices for creating and improving IXPs</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-indent:0.5in">- encourage data
collection</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-indent:0.5in">- create case studies</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-indent:0.5in">- and facilitate work with
IXP communities of interest and other partners</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt">(a) <b>Report
& Portal</b>: We are aiming for release of the
r<b>eport by the end of February</b> and <b>for the
Portal to go "live" in tandem or just after the
Report release</b>. Both the report and Portal
are considered preliminary and are going to be used to
obtain Internet community feed-back. We would really
like to hear back from chapters throughout the year on
the report & portal. You can email Jane Coffin,
Director, Development Strategy, (<a>coffin@ISOC.org</a>). </p>

Equipment & Case-studies</b>: The IXP Toolkit
project also facilitates capacity building and has
funds for training, workshops, equipment, and travel
for developing/emerging markets. Here are examples of
how we can work together:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt">-Are
you assisting an IXP develop? Let us know if you
are interested in a workshop, training, "twinning"
or mentoring from an existing IXP? We may be able to
help.</p>

you need equipment to get started or
to upgrade existing facilities? Let us know, we may
have funds to help. </p>

you help start an IXP? Let us know and we could work
with you on a case-study that will go on the IXP
Portal.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt">-Are
you interested in helping us provide training in your
region? Let us know as we would be very keen to have
chapter delegates help us with training.</p>

of you already know, 2014 will be a very busy year for
Internet policy-related conferences. A first big one
coming up is the WTDC (ITU-D’s World
Telecommunication Development Conference). Sally

Policy is leading ISOC's preparation for this event
that will be held on 31 March - 11 April, in the UAE. </p>
