[Chapter-delegates] APPLICATION for form ISOC Democratic Republic of Congo chapter - please review

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Veni,

great to read you.

Does your email imply that you know the proponents of both and trust that:

1. they represent a fraction of the Internet community in their countries;

2. are able to represent ISOC's ideals and plans;

3. they are honest dealers who will play straight for all involved;

4. are not overriding, sequestering, or otherwise playing foul with other 
former or possible proponents of a chapter;

5. will run their chapter as far as possible in a democratic, transparent 
manner;

6. are reasonably independent from pressures of special interests?

(and so on, i.e., are you telling us briefly that you have done your share 
of due diligence on both? I would bet you know well the principals in 
Romania and can answer "yes" to all of the above but don't know equally 
well how much you are acquainted with our friends from Congo, as instead 
Wallonie and Luxembourg, i.e. Marie-Anne and Patrick have documented.)

This is in no way a challenge to your knowledge! My thought is that when 
ISOC staff consults the chapter delegates on these matters they are not 
only looking for applause and warm welcomes, which tend to be well 
deserved, but asking for the things that Marie-Anne and Patrick have 
replied to. We form a "Web of trust" of sorts.

BTW based on the information provided till now I support the two 
applications, and hope that someone has indeed documented answers to the 
due-diligence questions.

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
