[Chapter-delegates] A Call for Subject Experts

[veni markovski]

Hi, Lucy!

I'd like to support your request for help by urging my colleagues 
from different chapters, who have contributed throughout the years to 
take a look at their old e-mails, and decide which one of the many 
topics we've discussed is worth putting into such a proposal that it 
will make the ISOC BoT interested in accepting.

I will try to find some of the documents we've submitted in the last 
4-5 years, which are still quite valid, and will send them to the 
list for further consideration by other colleagues.

Veni Markovski
chair, ISOC-Bulgaria
member of the Board, ISOC-New York
