[Chapter-delegates] [Fwd: Re: Internet Society 2006]

[slater at speedsite.com]

Greetings from Chicago, Tricia, Lynn, Gene, et al,

Way back in 1997, one year before I joined ISOC, O'Reilly Press published
a book titled: "The Harvard Conference on The Internet and Society".  I
humbly suggest that you offer something similar to this title for an
amicable solution as you inform them that using the Internet Society is a
no-no.  In addition, extend an offer for them to join us.  For it was the
famous American poet, Carl Sandburg who wrote these great lines:

He drew a circle that shut me out:
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout;
But love and I had a mind to win;
We drew a circle and took him in.


Just my two-cents (U.S.).

God bless ISOC and the founders.

Sincerely,


Bill
President, ISOC-Chicago

>> thanks.  Although I have to admit to a bit of surprise that you would
initiate this without coordinating with us first.   We are drafting a
note to them from the Geneva office and it would not be helpful for
them to receive multiple phone calls or contradictory messages.

>> We'll work it from here and update everyone when we have some news.
