[Chapter-delegates] Report on "Trust and the Future of the Internet"

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Lucy,

... which, on the chapters' side, means we should start looking at the 
identity-trust initiatives in each of our environments, assessing them for 
whether they are forward-looking enough, and making a brief inventory to 
know what matches the project's requirements when you send them out.

And, none of us would waste time or effort if we started making contact 
with the experts around each chapter, bringing them together - for 
example, as speakers in the monthly, annual, or other meetings we organize 
- and making them aware of the ISOC initiative.

Some of our chapters are in environments where there are few experts and 
many glaring needs. Being aware of both will be of great value and help 
the project gain momentum when it has to, without derailing the 
more-concentrated technical and policy community that will do the core 
work.

That way, we can couple the faster-paced environemnt in which the chapters 
live with the strategic size and tiemframe of the project - hopefully in a 
happy and productive way for all.

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
