[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Participation in OneWebDay - Sept 22nd

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Dear Anne,

in the Mexico chapter we have not joined this celebration earlier because 
we believe deeply that the Internet is much more than the Web, and find 
the motif "celebrate online life" a bit too undefined.

Are you defining an approach that bears an Internet Society imprint, or 
can we all contribute to that? Can you help us all know what have been the 
activities of others last year that seem exemplary under an ISOC lens?

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
