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

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

Hello Anne,

In the thread "Dormant Chapters" Michiel Leenaarshas observed that  "*ISOC
is often seen to be a traveling circus around other peoples events*", we
need to be seriously concerned. Perhaps we should immediately plunge into
action on the ideas generated on the threads "ISOC Election Results" and "
INET meetings - Global INET 2011 and beyond" with attention to your action
plan in this email message.
