[chapter-delegates] Re: [isoc-members-discuss] Do we have a way to help/promote this?

[Lynn St.Amour]

Hi Beth,

Many of our chapters have a lot of competence in this matter and they 
should be able to provide good advice, as well as pointers to 
appropriate resources around the world.  This might even be a project 
we could all undertake on a world-wide basis.   So, what do 
chapters/members think?  Any interest?

Regards,
Lynn
