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

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

Hello Louis Houfe,

1. The choice of the INET locations needs to be "decided" based on friendly
bidding by chapters. Chapters could make a presentation bid to argue on the
convenience of the location, the attractiveness of the venue, the
capabilities etc. and delegates + ISOC global could evaluate and decide on a
venue. If Quebec, PICISOC, New York and Australia ( chapter names are just
thrown here) show equal interest INET 1 or INET 2, each of them need to
upload a presentation ( along the lines of this example presentation on IGF
2008 prepared by the Government of India - this is not a bid document, but a
similar document could be a bid for INET -
http://www.intgovforum.org/feb26/IGF-Hyd-2008.v2.pdf  - ( No marketing here
either. This link is a public link from the IGF website. ISOC Chennai has so
far not been involved in IGF ) .


2. There in no harm from including ICANN or IETF, but the event needs to be
an ISOC event. ISOC needs to be the umbrella. We can go into the agenda
later, that would need a larger debate.

3. We need to move away from the mindset of promoting ISOC to that of
actually approaching this event from the position of responsibility. ISOC
has enormous responsibilities towards the Internet and a serious conference
such as INET is required for ISOC to contemplate and act upon all that needs
to be done.
