[SPAM] RE: [chapter-delegates] Patent on IPv6

[Ramon Morales]

Rudi,
Thanks for this excellent tool. I have signed up and look forward to sharing
with ISOC Belgium and the other active worldwide chapters on the projects
forum. I see the possibility of rich exchanges and the establishment of
bilateral as well as multilateral relationships that could be fruitful and
beneficial to us all.
In appreciation,
Ramón Morales

In order to make the communication platform work between chapters,
especially
chapters working on projects, I've opened a category  "Chapter projects
communication platform"  inside the "Chapters Delegates Chat forum".
Those who want to communicate about projects they are running or to make
proposals on projects where other chapters could participate, they can
register
to this forum and participate in constructive way so that we (all isoc
chapters)
could work together in fulfilling the global mission of isoc. Forum is
accessible at : http://www.isoc.be/chde/forum/default.asp

I would like to make it clear, this is not a must, it is just an idea of
bringing people together around a common platform, offering support to those
who
want to participate in projects all over the world.
All comments, remarks and of course idea's are very welcome.

Best regards,

Rudi Vansnick
