I am really not sure if any of the chapters in Asia can claim to be resourceful. ISOC HK is working its butts off (excuse my language) to maintain only one full time staff with all exco members are volunteers with a full-time job. If you mean bearing the cost including only time and effort to train the person, that's fine. But paying the person's wages, it is a luxury for many chapters including ISOC HK.<br><br>What ISOC HK can do at the very least is certainly to provide internship or mentee opportunities. We organize more than 2 events a month as hosting organization and on top of that, we actively response with public statements to government and public issues relating to IT and the Internet, especially the ones affecting ISOC's mission and objectives. So I am very sure there are plenty of things the person can learn. But the only thing we cannot afford is the person's wage if any. ISOC HK recruits students for local universities in assisting our events as helpers, MC, or event event website preparation.<br><br>We welcome any idea in such area.<br><br>BTW, I would like to leave with a note of appreciation to all the ISOC staff and the Board of Trustees who have been making the ISOC events at ICANN London 50 possible.
