[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Elections result

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Hi,

together with our enthusiasm we must look at the financial and operational 
realities - what are the costs each of you estimate for a meeting? what 
size meeting? how many invited speakers whose travel must be paid for? How 
many of us are in positions and have the time and energy available to 
become a host?

And mind you, I have been one of those to say "where is the INET now that 
we need it?" during the evolution of the WSIS and post-WSIS processes.
