[Chapter-delegates] [Isoc-ext-board] ISOC's involvement at ITU Telecom World 2009

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Hi Gerard, others who were in charge and/or attended ITU Telecom World 
2009:

1. I've heard that the event was a major flop. What does this really mean? 
Only lack of attendance? A failure of the ITU to deliver its message(s)?

2. Does anyone have a (self- or third-party or any other) assessment of 
how ISOC and the Internet fared altogether? What was not only the 
cost-benefit but the risk-cost-benefit for ISOC?
