really pathetic to inform you that most of the government
concern person specially developing country like Bangladesh
initially do not know what is ISOC ? and what they are doing
? if anyone know ISOC then think this organization against
government policy making process . So initial stage our
target to minimize information gap between ISOC and
government. <br>

For this reason, firstly we shared the information to
government about ISOC's local chapter and global activities
also engagement with other global stakeholder . The method
we used <b> </b> weekly (soft copy) and monthly (hard copy)
<b>custom newsletter</b> also while we provide the hard copy
of newsletter then tried to meet with the concern person to
describe the details information of this newsletter . <br>

<big>This is a good idea others can emulate.</big><br>

You will be happy to know that after five or six month we
got good response from government. We must invite one
government concern person as guest in our chapter event.
These are the example of opportunity to connect with
government to share information what local chapter and ISOC
doing in local and globally . Results ,Now any of the
public or <span class="">multistakeholder</span> meeting
government invite our chapter leaders which related to
internet .<br>

<big>Yes. Most high-level government officials would accept an
invitation to speak at a chapter event, and will then get to know
the members and the issues facing them. Ministers, etc. could also
be invited a chief guest for inaugurations, award ceremonies, etc.
Another strategy could be to invite them to an "Advisory Council"
or similar, that way, we can meet them regularly.</big><br>

I think this experience would be helpful for other chapter
who are trying to connect with government . <br>
