<div class="">You already made this point and we accepted it. </div>
<div class="">The purpose of the agreement is exactly what you describe.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So I think we all are in agreement here. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Just to clarify one more time (Joyce had already pointed it out), this clause you questioned is not part of the changes we proposed to the chapters letter. That clause is from the current agreement and has been there for a few years. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We are very open to address this concern and we are working on it. Just waiting for other comments. </div>

However, people want to interpret it, there is no doubt that promoting ISOC aims to “community leaders, press and regulators” has a clear aim of influencing policy development within a country. There are many other ISOC objectives which can also be fulfilled,
but which do not risk controversy. While we have focused on legal limits on foreign-funded organisations, there are plenty of countries where this will generate wider social resentment, especially in countries with strong anti-colonialist or anti-US interference
feelings. Helping people get access to internet services, promoting technical standards, offering education, etc., are not activities which are likely to attract anything but positive reactions. There is plenty any chapter can do to promote ISOC aims without
this restrictive clause. It is unsustainable as a formal command for chapter existence. If chapters want to do it, there is nothing to stop them, but it should not be compulsory.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
