[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Elections result

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

Hello Fred Baker and Martin,

I looked at the INET page, it looks like a wonderful event, which was
unfortunately discontinued as poined out Fred, due to the macro economic
environmental changes of the times.

Had ISOC continued with this as an annual event, ISOC would have emerged
far, far more stronger.

I think we should bring it back. This should be a grand event, carefully
planned, should bring in Internet professionals from the world over, the IT
industry, government and research groups, should be a huge event, for four
days as INET 2001 with one or two hours of concurrent meetings happening on
the sidelines for ISOC insiders.

Can ISOC's Board and Staff take a look at this again? If you give us the
initial encouragement, we can organize this event in Bangalore or Goa,
India, with a local participation of at least 3000 people, not counting
overseas participation. Could be an ISOC global, broadly adminstered by ISOC
Global or by a committee of chapter delegates from worldwide, actively
organized by us as the local chapter.

Say yes, and we will draw up a concept and an overall plan for the first of
the new series of INET annual conferences....
