[Chapter-delegates] Youth Internet Society

[Veni Markovski]

That's a great idea, Khaled!

ISOC clubs could have great influence on the education and culture of 
students. ISOC chapters could be the leading forces behind this 
initiative, and ISOC could co-ordinate, organize, and perhaps even 
fund the idea.
I will CC ISOC-Bulgaria staff on that, and we'll try to come to this 
list, and to ISOC with some more information and ideas; in the 
meantime - have great holidays and a Happy New Year - all of you!
