APPLICATION ISOC ROMANIA
A. Proposed name of the Chapter

The name of the Association is “Asociatia Societatea Internet – Isoc  
Romanian Chapter”.  “Societatea Internet” is the Romanian translation  
of “Internet Society”. The translation is mandatory, as required by  
the Romanian law.

B. Community of Interest the Chapter will to serve

The association accepts members living in but not limited to Romania  
and having in common an interest for Internet, the civil society, and  
for the Romanian culture, regardless of nationality.

C. Purpose and Scope of Chapter

The purpose of the Association is to analyze the problems and needs  
of Romanians, raised by the appearance of the new communication media  
and technologies (the Internet, etc.), to mobilize the communitarian  
resources towards the development and introduction on a large scale  
of the above mentioned new communication media and technologies; to  
promote modern methods and means of solving the identified problems.

We think that serving our community as an ISOC chapter is the best  
way to take advantage from ISOC network and experience. Networking  
with other ISOC chapters all over the world will significantly  
complement our association goals.

F. List of Requirements

For further details, please see the bylaws. The bylaws of the  
association are compliant with the Romanian law. We tried to stay as  
close as possible to the bylaws model provided by ISOC.

According to the Pruteanu law, Romanian companies and associations  
have to translate all foreign association names into Romanian; this  
is why the name of the chapter is mainly in Romanian.  We have taken  
the necessary steps to register Internet Society name in Romania. The  
isoc.ro website is registered since 2001, and the “Societatea  
Internet” name is reserved since 2002.  This is a legal requirement  
in Romania. According to the Romanian law, it would be impossible for  
another association to have a legal presence with this name.
We have also proposed a logo, please see the attachment.  We have  
checked all this requirements with M. Georgescu, attorney-at law, who  
is also the Censor of our proposed chapter.

G. Additional Information

Proposed chapter history:
In 2000, we have been proposed by Mr. Olivier Iteanu, ex-Chairman of  
the French chapter, to join the Internet Society and also to play an  
active role in the set up of the Romanian chapter.

We have participated to the annual Isoc France meeting in January  
2001, where we met with other members of the Society. We had the  
opportunity to speak at that time to Christine Maxwell, who  
encouraged us to submit an application.

In May 2001, we launched our activity in Romania.
We’ve also participated to the ISOC 2001 annual meeting, in Sweden.

In July 2001, we’ve made a presentation of our proposed chapter to  
the French-speaking Romanian community, with the official support of  
several institutions:  French ministry of Culture, Aupelf-Uref, Isoc  
France, Isoc Wallonie.
The chapter is already functioning as a real motivated team  
officiously since 2001 and officially since 2002. We already have our  
website (http://www.isoc.ro), and the IT strategy magazine (http:// 
www.contactnet.ro) will become the official magazine of our chapter.
For a list of actions achieved in 2002, see our annual report.

In 2006, we have initiated a series of projects. The association  
successfully proposed the project “Sibiu everywhere” to the  
organizers of Sibiu 2007 and the Romanian Ministry of culture  
(Luxembourg and Sibiu will be in 2007 the cultural capital of Europe)
None of our Board of Directors members has any active affiliation  
with the Romanian Government, Presidency or political parties.
