The tweet leads to this open letter, published on the ISOC
website:

<br>
Andrew, <br>
I tried to find a link from the ISOC main page to the open letter,
but I couldn't, which is strange, esp. the tweet says that ISOC
has written to the government of Canada, but your name is not
among the people, who have signed it? How is ISOC writing to the
government, without the signature from the President&CEO? I
also checked this page, which has a publication from yesterday,
but not mentioning the letter:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2021/05/the-week-in-internet-news-u-s-rolls-out-broadband-subsidy/">https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2021/05/the-week-in-internet-news-u-s-rolls-out-broadband-subsidy/</a>
<br>
<br>
In any case, this is a detail, but I wanted to ask if that means
ISOC would be willing to support other such efforts in situations,
where a separate country may face some issues, related to the
Internet? I remember few years ago, when we had an issue with the
Internet regulation in Bulgaria, ISOC wasn't willing to support us
as an organization (though we got support from individual Trustees
and the CEO). We solved the problem back then by suing the
government in the Supreme Administrative Court and winning the
case. <br>
<br>
In conclusion, publishing such an open letter on the official web
site, with a link from the main page, would be a clear sign for
support, IMHO, and that would be good in some cases, if that means
you will be supporting them as well.<br>
