<p>Dear colleagues, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Today we celebrate 20 years since the day we founded the Internet Society of
Bulgaria (<a href="http://isoc.bg/index_en.html">http://isoc.bg/index_en.html</a>).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Little did we know in 1995 that we'll become the first, and the leading
Internet-policy related organization in Bulgaria. We became known in 1999, when
we sued the Bulgarian government at he Supreme Administrative Court against the
licensing for the ISPs they have introduced. You can read more details about
the case here: <a href="http://isoc.bg/kpd/index-eng.html">http://isoc.bg/kpd/index-eng.html</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Our<span class=textexposedshow> expertise was used through the years to help
draft legislation, provide expertise support for the government, help people
and organizations in need of Internet-related know-how, etc. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We were also asked in 2002 to draft the statute of the first Bulgarian
President's Information Technology Advisory committee, where we invited as
members Vint Cerf, Esther Dyson, George Sadowsky, Piritta Sorsa, Don Heath and
Richard Delmas (<a
href="http://www.president.bg/archive-2002-2012/en/adm_sit.php">http://www.president.bg/archive-2002-2012/en/adm_sit.php</a>).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you all - for your support, and hope to see you around
in another 20 years <br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Veni <br>
Co-founder and Chairman of the Board<o:p></o:p></p>
