[Chapter-delegates] INET meetings - Global INET 2011 and beyond

[borka at e5.ijs.si]

Dear Veni,

No problem until the moment we have same understanding.
In case of possible future  INET conference we obviously have the
same approach. I hope that your action will
gather enough volunteers for preparation of  good proposal
and hopefully a good and atractive  INET conference.
There are so many challenging topics to be elaborated
and discussed among ISOC chapters and the Internet
experts!

With regards,

Borka
