C. Purpose and Scope of Chapter
To contribute to the Mission Statement of the Internet Society and also 
participate in the development of standards, protocols, administration, 
and the technical infrastructure of the Internet.

Specifically:
1. to provide co-ordination and leadership on matters related to the 
Internet to ensure it stays open and accessible
2. to ensure that ISOC's regional and global deliberations include input 
from Malaysia, a country which is committed to being a knowledge economy
3. to ensure that matters of public policy are discussed and deliberated 
with impartiality and in a multi-stakeholder environment
4. to ensure that the Malaysian community is aware of the work of the 
Internet Engineering Task Force, and that there is greater awareness of 
participation opportunities from Malaysia
5. to act in a collaborative manner with other Malaysian government and 
ICT industry bodies in an effort to ensure wide consultation and 
discussion on technical as well as policy matters concerning the Internet
6. to ensure global discussions by the international Internet community 
include perspectives from Malaysia
7. to identify opportunities for Malaysia-based members to contribute to 
ISOC's regional and global activities

other ISOC chapters, members or regional Internet community)
9. to provide education and guidance to the community i.e. schools, kids 
  and the general public to ensure the Internet a safe place to be in. 
The Internet is becoming a world by itself that minor and seniors flock 
by the hours and the next generation is going to be moulded out of this.

together and find solutions should be there. This will be done through 
setting up of various working groups within the chapter.

F. List of Requirements
I will be checking with ROS (/www.ros.gov.my) on this in the coming weeks.

G. Additional Information
Our early interest in ISOC was encouraged and supported during INET KL, 
and we now have good momentum present within Malaysia to take this 
chapter forward. We also a put together a multi-stakeholder group, 
representative of all sectors, as evidenced in our group of founding 
members.

I am also personally involved with the Malaysian IPv6 Forum as the 
Co-Chair, amongst other things. We also have linkages with other ICT 
groups (e.g. contacts at PIKOM, IPv6 Working Group and etc) which will 
help us ensure that ISOC Malaysia remains a multi-stakeholder group with 
wide outreach.

IPv6 education and training, security awareness are some of the 
activities that we will engage in as a chapter.
