I agree fully with Veni, Olivier and Grigori in this matter.</div>

<div>Since this is an ITU Development conference, I would also
like to be reassured that the Regional Directors most concerned
will be part of the ISOC delegation to WTDC.</div>

be 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 & Portal (community
feed-back) and (2) the Upcoming ITU World
Telecommunication Development Conference
(WTDC):</div>
<div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-align:justify"><br>
</div>
<div 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:</div>
<div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-indent:0.5in">- consolidate and
document best practices for creating and
improving IXPs</div>
<div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-indent:0.5in">- encourage data
collection</div>
<div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-indent:0.5in">- create case studies</div>
<div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-indent:0.5in">- and facilitate work
with IXP communities of interest and other
partners</div>
<div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-indent:0.5in"><br>
</div>
<div 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>). </div>
<div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><br>

<div style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt">(b) <b>Training, 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:</div>
<div 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.</div>
<div style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt">-Do you need equipment to get
started or to upgrade existing facilities?
Let us know, we may have funds to help. </div>
<div style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt">-Did 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.</div>
<div 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.</div>

<div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-align:justify">(2) <b>WTDC</b>: As
many 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 Wentworth ISOC
Senior Director, Strategic Public Policy is
leading ISOC's preparation for this event that
will be held on 31 March - 11 April, in the

audiences: first, we will be speaking to
the policy community and offering a

expertise; second, we will be speaking to
the ITU in terms of its future development
activities and workplan.</div>
