(cross posting to Chapter Delegates list & Open Forum)<br>
<br>
Dear Chapter delegates,<br>
<br>
some of you might be aware of the record breaking cyclone that hit
Fiji in late-February, an event that was unfortunately seriously
under-reported by the media. The extent of destruction there is
high, bearing in mind 320km/h (200mph) winds - yes, this is not a
typo, it is amongst the biggest storms ever recorded.<br>
I have been in touch with Sala (see below) and many here might know
her as she is active in Internet Governance, although recently, she
has been understandably busy with the aid and reconstruction
efforts. I have asked if there is anything I or the Internet Society
community could do to help. Here is her first request (below), after
a week evaluating the disaster on the ground.<br>
<br>
It would be great if we could show solidarity & help, knowing
that our community has extensive experience and expertise in
technical matters.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
