Dear Jahangir,<br>
<br>
thank you for sharing your concerns. This is not the first time I
hear of such problems. I think that the Chapter Advisory Council
should take this problem up. It appears that at present the culture
of communication has been lost by some parts of the ISOC structure.
It is indeed embarrassing for a local chapter to learn about an
event ISOC HQ is organising, in the way you have shared with us. It
is even more embarrassing when participants get in touch with the
local chapter to ask questions and the local chapter knows nothing
about the event.<br>
As I said, this is something for the Chapter Advisory Council.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

<div>Internet Society Bangladesh Dhaka Chapter (<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.isoc.org.bd/dhaka/" target="_blank"></a><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.isoc.org.bd/dhaka/">http://www.isoc.org.bd/dhaka/</a>)
is delighted to know that ISOC (global) is organizing an
ION event in Dhaka, Bangladesh in collaboration with BdNOG.
This is indeed a great initiative in raising awareness,
capacity building and, overall, carrying forward ISOC's
mission in Bangladesh. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We only learnt about this event from ISOC360 website when
one of our members visited <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/ion/bangladesh2016/" target="_blank">http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/ion/bangladesh2016/</a>.
However, since there have been no prior communication from
ISOC (global) with the chapter about this event we could not
respond to our members query about the chapter's role in
this event. As such, we felt bit uncomfortable. Our chapter
is fairly new (since 2011) and we are yet to learn how ISOC
(global) works with chapter in organizing local events. Is
it usual that the local chapter is not informed before doing
a local event with another local entity? we thought it could
have been a great way to strengthen a very active chapter
like ours if we were given the opportunity to work in
collaboration or even mentioned!. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are concerned thinking that a very active and highly
enthusiastic local chapter has very little value/importance
to ISOC (global) in advancing ISOC's mission in Bangladesh.
Our members are also beginning to wonder how well the local
chapter is connected with ISOC (global).</div>
