[Chapter-delegates] Review of chapter application for the Tunisia Internet Society Chapter

[Vansnick Rudi]

I'm very happy to read this message. Being in Bahrain I had the opportunity to
talk to the WSA expert and organizing partner of the WSIS / WSA in Tunis about
the creation of the Tunis ISOC chapter. And here is the result. I welcome them
and wish them all the best. If any support is needed, here we are.

Best regards,

Rudi Vansnick
ISOC Belgium
