[Chapter-delegates] The Future Internet

[ISOC Pakistan Chapter]

Hi

I feel we need to take our inputs higher with active collaboration and
majority of us in the process to take ourselves locally aiming our
envisioned future of the Internet? Just a thought as standards in todays
world are consensus driven for the practicality and well being of humanity
as per beauraucracy which in turn will shape the Internet as per their
interests. The Ecosystem needs a strategic drive!!
We should have more  programs and drive ISOC as a known entity to the
Planet. Heres a quiz ask ten in tech schools and 90%  know whats ITU only
1-5% know about Internet Society !!! my 2 cents.
regards

Qasim
