<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Thanks for the URL,
Gonzalo.<br>
An interesting observation - out of the four non-US Trustees, 3
are elected by the chapters (the fourth one is actually you;). <br>
This is a sign that the chapters are not only vital part of ISOC,
but also a part, which pays attention to diversity - not only in
geography, but also in culture, views, ideas, etc. <br>
Perhaps people, who are critical of the chapters, could look at
the numbers and think again if their criticism is not
misguided:-) <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">FWIW, although I'm from the U.S. I
don't consider myself to be a defender of "U.S. giant
companies." Most of my writings over the last several
years have articulated criticisms of those companies,
whose flaws I know best. (You'll find very little from
me that's critical of, say, Alibaba or Tencent, two
companies I've hardly studied at all. For the record,
I favor small companies that as market entrants (take
Zoom, for example) manage to compete strongly against
the incumbents--because it's not just great for them
but also good for the incumbents when there's
competition.)<o:p></o:p></p>
