Dear Gihan,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the good news about the approval by the Board of the
Chapter Advisory Council. This is really great news. Shout out to
John (ISOC DC Co Convener)and Evan (ISOC Canada) for all their hard
work on the Chapter Advisory Council. I agree with others this is a
major step forward for Chapters as it will help them have more of a
voice. I look forward to seeing it go forward. I know that there is
still much work to be done in getting the Council operational but
this is a great step forward. Looking forward to reading more about
it in the blog that Joyce was mentioning.<br>
<br>
Cheers!!<br>
<br>

ISOC DC Council Member<br>
