[chapter-delegates] Working group on Internet Governance (WGIG)

[Rosa Delgado]

I agree with Frank.

Chapters need such diversity. Most of the times people do not
necessarily agree with their government's decisions if you take the case
of Cuba and other nations. It is essential to exchange Internet usage
best practices and models and learn ones from others 

Fyi, next WGIG meeting will be taking place in Geneva (18-20 April 2005)


The third meeting of the Working Group on Internet Governance, will be
held at the UN in Geneva from 18 to 20 April, will focus on the roles
and responsibilities of all parties involved in governance arrangements
and assess the adequacy of existing arrangements. Consultations open to
all interested parties will be held on 18 April.

I think, yes they should start a chapter in HK. This is not up to us to 
decide (as long they meet the chapter criteria), and we better sometimes

work with people than against them. This chapter could provide some 
changes and some perspective to ISOC, because when one billion chineses 
will be online, we will know it...

So yes, we need chapters in China too..
