Dear Ted,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your kind reply. I look forward to your follow-up on
the matter later in the week or early next week - it is well
understood that Rome wasn't built in a day, but designing a road
that leads to Rome might be a good first step.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<div>Veni, Olivier and Chapter Delegates and Advisory Council

<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is ample thought and desire to gather with ISOC
chapters and members to agree 1) our strategic and tactical
objectives and 2) how best to achieve them; meaning what should
our mobilization and engagement strategy look like. Staff are
keen to address this in detail so that there are resources
available to do all that we might want. Of course , this is not
as easy as asking for money and resources and having them show
up. Nevertheless, we Staff are committed to assuring a
prioritization of member and chapter involvement in WTCD
preparation and engagement. Public Policy is convening the
Regional Bureaus, Communications and Membership & Services
on a conference call tomorrow to allocate internal tasks, after
which you may expect much more explicit and collaborative
communication.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Chapter and member action in the WTDC and beyond is
critically important for the successful inclusion of our
positions and values in the outcomes of these conferences. We
welcome your ideas, your collaboration and you collective
action.</div>
<div><br>

<div>More before the end of the week,</div>

<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

<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>

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">

and are going to be used to obtain Internet
