[Chapter-delegates] A Rough Guide to ISOC's IETF73 Hot Topics

Wed Nov 12 21:54:29 PST 2008

Dear Anne,

kudos for creating and sharing this excellent resource. I have just sent 
it out to ISOC Mexico's members, with additional explanatory text in 
Spanish (I'll be glad to share that with other chapters if you wish.)

Your text seems to have selected very well subjects which will resonate 
more with chapters, where in general there is less of an IETF-primary 
inclination and more instead of a conjunction of concerns on technology, 
society, and public policy issues coming together.

Thanks in the name of the many who will also like this resource!

Alx
