[Chapter-delegates] Suggestions & comments about chapters andISOC

Fri Sep 15 11:30:43 PDT 2006

It is of course deserves support from all to open 
regional bureaus, as we learned from ISOC that in 
Latin America and the Caribbean, there will be 
two shortly. But, I am a bit skeptical about the 
actual impact to the digitally dropped out 
countries, as such many in Africa and Asia. I 
have not seen much of the outcome through many 
similar initiatives, frankly speaking. Perhaps, 
we are creating critically deepening digital gaps here and there.

Best Regards.
Hakik.
ISOC BD.
