<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dear Jahangir<br></div>I also sympathize with your predicament. It is indeed a problem if ISOC bypasses local structures and organizes event, particularly when the event concerned is high profile and national in character. For the Chapter leadership, it becomes somewhat difficult to manage questions from members. <br><br>In this case, it appears to be unintentional, and there is still time for the Chapter to be associated with the event in a visible manner. I do hope that ISOC will take care of this concern in future.<br><br><br><br><br><br></div><div>satish<br><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 16, 2016 at 12:41 AM, Sarah Kiden <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:skiden@gmail.com" target="_blank">skiden@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Dear Jahangir, </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Sorry to hear about that.

<div>I can only apologies that this happened! </div>

<div>We appreciate all the great work the Bangladesh Chapter his doing and this oversight is in no way a reflection of that appreciation. </div>

Dear Delegates,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Internet Society Bangladesh Dhaka Chapter (<a href="http://www.isoc.org.bd/dhaka/" target="_blank">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 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>
</div>

<span dir="ltr" style="text-align:left">We would like to hear about other chapter's opinion about this.</span></div>
