[chapter-delegates] ISOC SOP

[veni markovski]

Irwan,
I think there are some good things in the SOP, esp. about public policy, 
which only need to be improved, or contributed to. I'd like to hear more 
people from chapters focusing on that topic.
If it's for critical notes, believe me - I can have much more than most of 
the chapter-delegates :)

But I want to have a workin SOP, with special pressure on public policy. 
I've told many times - this is what concerns chapters, esp. public policy 
on national and regional levels. We all have to face governments trying to 
implement some kind of licensing, control over access to and spread of 
information. We all have to deal with monopolists (telecoms, software, 
sometimes - hardware). These are issues which could be solved with the help 
of ISOC chapters. Or even - should be! But may be we are not strong enough? 
May be ISOC in Reston/Geneva needs to help us achieve that?

Pls, share your ideas - let's together create, invent, think!
