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

[Louis Houle]

Well, there we go.

1- OK Siva, INET is a good idea but organizing the event in different 
geographic locations is a concern. Well, let's use technology, we're 
promoting the use of the Internet aren't we ? How about considering 
let's say an event in Québec City (no marketing here, it's for the sake 
of a simple example of what I have in mind).
We can gather North Americans and anybody who gets near passing by at 
that time. And two years later, let's choose an other continent...as 
simple as that. On what grounds it should be choosed ? Discussion is open !

2- I like Fred's point on using or matching the INET with some other 
ISOC meetings (or ICANN-IETF,...)  accordingly. The point is, as Fred 
mentions: what is the goal, the target, the objectives, the output ? It 
has to be grounded on sound topics around three aspects:
a) what do we do to help high speed internet to propagate on this globe
b) what do we do to encourage a fare use of the internet and to 
discourage abuses ?
c) how do we deal with digital divide

3- Veni, it's a good point : INET is (partly) to replace the IGF who 
will comme to an end ! But to me, it is to help ISOC being the most 
relevant organization in the Internet governance discussions and issues.

That's my two cents for tonight !

Salutations,
Louis
