<div dir="ltr">Hi George, Veni,<div><br></div><div>You are correct, it is NOT the interest of the Chapters to reply. </div><div><br></div><div>It appears from Andrews reply that ISOC is, and always will be a USA centric organisation and the USA just has different laws to the rest of so it does not matter what we say.</div><div><br></div><div>ISOC global is acting like a charity for non-USA organisations and it has been given the license by the global netizens.

<br>
I'm pleased that our initial mail on the above subject asking chapter officers and members about their view of the future of ISOC is receiving a good response.<br>
<br>
However it has come to our attention that at least some chapters are holding back responses because some of the responses already provided and copied to the entire chapters list have been responded to in ways that they feel is inappropriate. In addition, it is our experience that in some cultures, responses may be muted for fear of offending recipients, however unintended to provoke a negative response they may be.<br>
<br>
We want to hear from everyone, and there is an easy way to solve the above problem. When you respond to us with your chapter's and members' opinions, simply write to only the two of us, and do not copy the chapter list. Our email addresses are:<br>
<br>
<<a href="mailto:george.sadowsky@gmail.com" target="_blank">george.sadowsky@gmail.com</a>><br>
<<a href="mailto:mshabbirawan@gmail.com" target="_blank">mshabbirawan@gmail.com</a>><br>
<br>
If you want your opinions heard --- which we surely hope that you do --- but do not want to be identified publicly with them, just tell us that. If you have specific questions or concerns, write to either or both or us, and we will help you in any way that we can.<br>
<br>
Please continue to share your opinions and suggestions with us. They are important.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
