Dear Chapter Delegates,

 

As part of an initiative to enhance communications and collaboration
between ISOC, ISOC Chapters, and members, we are proposing to have
regular physical meetings/chats. Specifically, several times during the
year there are regional meetings and conferences at which one or more
ISOC Trustees and staff are present.  We would like to encourage and
further promote these opportunities to have a chat between all those
ISOC members who are present at the event.

 

We are looking to collaborate, facilitate, and support these meetings in
any way we can.  We see these meetings falling into two different
categories.  Sometimes, we will want a more formal meeting, with planned
agendas.  These would have well-defined topics for discussion, speakers,
and plenty of time for discussion.  Other times the meetings will be
more informal, with ISOC Trustees and staff present but with perhaps a
Chapter or Member managing the meeting and agenda.

 

Several of you are already doing this and your efforts are appreciated
by many.  We are particularly supportive of the "virtual meetings"
proposed and organized by Andreu Veà, and we hope this takes hold on a
wider (possibly regional level).  We want to thank everyone for their
support and acknowledge the contribution efforts like this make to ISOC
and our mission.  The meetings we are proposing are an extension of
several informal programs we have had in the past and reflect the fact
that we are making headway on building up our support infrastructure to
chapters and members.

 

We will be asking Trustees for their help in identifying opportunities
where they will be present to meet and participate in these meetings.
Many of them already do this on a regular basis.

 

We are also asking for your help in identifying opportunities when we
can arrange these meetings.

 

Here are the upcoming opportunities we know about:

 

- ICANN meeting in Mar del Plata, Argentina - April 4, 2005

 

  Lynn St.Amour and several ISOC Trustees will be present and we will be
arranging a meeting at the ICANN venue.

 

- AfNOG meeting in Maputo, Mozambique - April 17, 2005

 

- SEINIT seminar in Paris, France - April 27-28, 2005

 

- INET MEA regional conference in Cairo, Egypt - May 8, 2005

 

- ICANN meeting in Luxembourg - July 11, 2005

 

- IETF meeting in Paris, France - July 31, 2005

 

Please let us know if you know of others.

 

We will be following up with you as we begin to coordinate and organize
these meetings/chats.  Your comments and suggestions are very welcome.

 

Thank you all and best regards,

 

David
