[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Briefing Papers Released (and Marratech calls)

[Sabrina Wilmot]

Dear Colleagues,

ISOC Public Policy team is pleased to announce the publication of a 
series of "Briefing Papers". Briefing papers are intended to act as an 
orientation paper for members of the Internet Society on a given topic. 
They provide background, outline current issues, challenges and 
opportunities, and provide suggestions as to ways forward.

The first three briefing papers are "Multilingualism and the Internet",
"Internet Exchange Points" (IXPs) and "IPv6". They are available at:
