[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Elections result

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Sivasubramanian,

some of us tried to revive the INET and found that the financial 
conditions a few years ago were not making it sustainable any more. Of 
course this could have changed again but as Fred says, the financial risk 
is huge.

How many people do you think could attend, from your chapter, if the event 
was taking place in Paris this July, to use an example for a market study?

Mind you, I'm saying this with a great nostalgia for the wonderful 
experiences of the INETs I attended. They were irreplaceable.

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
