[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Participation in OneWebDay

[Terry Monroe]

Dear Chapter Delegates-

Happy New Year!

As we start the new year, ISOC has been asked to participate in an
initiative on 22nd September called 'OneWebDay' (http://onewebday.org/).
Some of our chapters participated in this event in September 2006.
According to their website, "The mission of OneWebDay is to create,
maintain, advance, and promote a global day to celebrate online life".  

In the past, ISOC chapters have successfully hosted similar events --
"Internet Fiestas" -- that focused on the benefits of the Internet (not just
the Web) and the work of ISOC members related to capacity building,
education and training.   

We believe that collaborating with the OneWebDay initiative is consistent
with our principles, i.e., that ISOC should be a focal point for cooperative
efforts to promote the Internet as a positive tool to benefit all people
throughout the world.  

We would appreciate hearing from you as to whether your chapter is
interested in participating with ISOC in this event.  Please respond either
to me or Anne Lord, Sr. Manager of Chpaters (lord at isoc.org).  

Regards,

Terry Monroe
