[Chapter-delegates] Disseminated in media

Mr. Sivasubramanian Muthusamy:
Let say: 
In my situation as a journalist and current secretary of ISOC, Chapter of Peru on several occasions, I expressed the need to reach out to the press and public authorities, with the help of the headquarters, well, now in the case of Latin America, there is an office for this region, but that is not enough, should be disseminated and train people in the media, both in digital and print, radio and television. 
Should be invited or provide grants to journalists or members of ISOC, which means to handle then trained apart from arriving at your home country and with the knowledge and expertise together with the State, public agencies, NGOs and so give to know what is on the ISOC and suggest several actions that are taken with respect to the Internet.

Permita opinar:
En mi situacion de periodista y actual secretario de ISOC, Capitulo de Peru, en repetidas oportunidades, he manifestado la necesidad de llegar a la prensa y los poderes publicos, con la ayuda de la Sede Central, bueno, ahora en el caso de Latinoamerica, existe una oficina para esta region, pero eso no basta, se debe difundir y capacitar a personas que estan en los medios de comunicacion, tanto en medio digitales, como impresos , radio y television.
Se deberia invitar o brindar becas a periodistas o miembros de ISOC, que manejen medios para que luego ademas del compromiso lleguen capacitados a su pais de origen y con el conocimiento y experiencia adecuada reunirse con el Estado, Organismos Publicos, Organizaciones No gubernamentales y asi dar a conocer lo que es ISOC y sugerir sobre las diversas acciones que se toman con respecto a Internet.

Hello Leslie,

It is good to see ISOC taking an active part in the RANS meeting as also in several other meetings and events around the world. On this issue Alejandro wrote 

"what do we need as chapters? In thisinstance, I think it is the discussion itself, plus documentd cases and reading and rallying materials, in local language or at least in nCyrillic alphapet languages, that our colleagues in each country can use to intervene intelligently in public-policy discussionns in-country."

ISOC does intelligently intervene in public policy discussions, but I notice a set pattern that it adopts worldwide in its efforts to help shape public policy. In Europe, in United States, in countries such as Australia, a certain approach- that of participting in public policy forums or conferences, would help contribute to the local public policy. In certain other countries, policy changes happen in complete disregard of public debates or discussions in a conference. So what would consitute an effective measure to contribute to the policy making process of the European Parliamentary process may be completely be an ineffective method in certain other regions. What may be required in such situations is a different form of involvement, a different sytle of diplomay and a completely different approach.  Perhaps a meeting with the Leaders, perhaps a meeting with the Business Leaders, or a meeting with the leading journalists of the local press..  ISOC may have to think of strategies to suit regions in addition to standard efforts to take part in conferences and meetings.

Hi,

A brief word about our involvement in the upcoming RANS meeting in Russia:  yes, we are sponsoring the event, and intending to take an active role in the agenda.   We are doing this very much *because* we would like the opportunity to communicate the open Internet model in Russia.

In terms of actual contributions --  Lynn will have a prepared message for the opening of the event, and Standards & Technology's John Schnizlein may wind up reading it out to the opening plenary.  Apart from that, we have offered a talk on DNSSEC/DNS Security (John's area of focus), and are having troubles getting confirmation that it will be part of the main conference agenda.  Additionally, since our level of sponsorship allows for a booth at the conference, we are sending along some basic background materials (as we did to the ITU WTPF meeting) -- now translated into Russian, as well as the other UN languages.

So -- that's our current plan.  Comments and help welcome :-)

Leslie.

Not sure what your question is. What would you like to see said and/or
done, and by whom?

First, I think it is good to know, since we don't have a chapter there.

I heard that ISOC will be present on an upcoming conference in Moscow
and I think we might want to present our position there and probably to
gain some ground to carry out ISOC's mission in Russia.

Besides that I think this case is worth watching since I can imagine
there are many other countries following the same pattern, for example
ex-Soviet countries in Central Asia, where there is still one
telecommunications company and some people hardly imagine that one might
need more than one.
