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>
