<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Thank you all, <br>
And thanks, Vint -- it was you, who inspired us to create it. My
colleague and fellow Board member Dimitar Ganchev met you at an
INET conference in Prague, in 1994; I was at the Reston office of
ISOC in 1995, and then it was easy. <br>
Though, we gave some hard time to Don Heath in the beginning - we
were from another universe, so to speak... The country has just
finished 45 years of communism, and there were no democratic
traditions of any kind. <br>
<br>
Anyway, good thing is we are all here, and still fighting for good
causes; and now ISOC has not 6, but more than 100 chapters around
the world, and thousands of great people, who help the global
Internet. I am very happy to be part of this family.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Veni <br>

<div>It is with considerable pleasure that I add my good wishes
to you and to ISOC Bulgaria for your early fight for Internet
freedom and your long-standing support for expansion of access
to the Internet. Your willingness to take a strong and
successful stand against the Bulgarian government's regulation
demonstrated that it was possible to overcome conventional
thinking and drive the country towards more enlightened
perspectives.</div>
