<div class="">Recently the ICANN ATLARGE voted to include the civil

<div class="">I have tried to bring up the issue of organizations that
confuse the public as to what is a legitimate ISOC chapter.

<div class=""> I have been notified ISOC that the <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.isoctoronto.org/" class=""></a><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.isoctoronto.org/">www.isoctoronto.org</a>

falsely add their information. </div>
<div class="">We need to have a process of dealing with these type of
false or rogue sites that misinform the public. Since
ISOC is branding itself as a viable strong organization and
it turns a blind eye to this situation we have a problem.<br class="">
