I doubt this is a decision of the staff, but - more importantly -
there's no way for anybody, who is not ISOC staff to "represent
ISOC at the ITU"; in most cases in fact it will be someone from
ISOC, whose job is exactly that. ISOC chapters in the past have
provided members to delegations of their respected countries - and
they could continue to do that. They don't "represent" the
country; they are just members of the delegation. <br>

<p>Hank,</p>
<p>We should ask the CEO, Andrew, and see if he's willing to
nominate ISoc members to represent ISoc. I don't think staff can
make that decision on their own.</p>
