The Bangalore chapter proposes to represent the Maharashta region,
including the large cities of Mumbai and Pune, at a greater distance,
albeit on a non-exclusive basis.
The distance from Bangalore to Chennai is 334 km (192 miles)
Here in the USA we have chapters In New York, Philadelphia and DC -
cities that are as close or closer.
>> ISOC India Chennai was chartered as a chapter covering the geographical
>> regions of Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. Out of the
>> 120 members of ISOC India Chennai, 34 members are from Bangalore
>> (Karnataka). Chapter membership grew from 40 members in 2007 to 120 as
>> on date.
>>
>> We have had two meetings in Bangalore and a OneWebDay event last year in
>> a college campus with participation of 150 students. Last year the
>> members from Bangalore took interest in developing the Chapter web. One
>> of the Chapter officers - Satyadhyan Chickerur is from Bangalore;
>> Vinayak Hegde, who was awarded the IETF fellowship to Stockholm is a
>> member from Bangalore and some post-IETF outreach activities were
>> discussed with him which would take place in Bangalore to reach out to
>> the Opensource and other IT community in Bangalore to encourage them to
>> take part in IETF work.
>>
>> Geographically, Bangalore city is 20 kilometers from the border of
>> Tamilnadu and there is a close interconnection between the IT community
>> in Bangalore and Chennai.
>>
>> It is good to see a group of professionals in Bangalore coming forward
>> to take interest in ISOC. If Chapter support could advise them to take
>> part in ISOC as part of ISOC India Chennai it would certainly give the
>> Chennai chapter further strength. After the Chennai chapter takes
>> further shape with a range of activities in Bangalore city, Chennai
>> could think of bifurcating the Chapter into two of three - one Chapter
>> in chennai, one in Hyderabad, one in Bangalore, but right now
>> considering this a new chapter application clashes with the existing
>> structure and membership of ISOC India Chennai.

>> G. Additional Information
>> Bangalore and ISOC:
>>
>> We already have ISOC chapters in Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai but
>> the south west part of India doesn’t has any chapter as yet,
>> which includes some major Industrial and Technology hubs like
>> Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune.
>>
>> India is a developing country with the world’s second largest
>> population of 100 millions. Despite being an IT hub more than
>> half of its population still lives in villages and has no access
>> to computers
>> and internet. The challenges of improving Internet growth are
>> multifaceted and interrelated, particularly in developing
>> countries. They include, for example, access to technical skills
>> and knowledge, the regulatory and policy environment for
>> information and telecommunications services, and broader
>> economic and market factors, language diversity, and the
>> diffusion and reliability of basic infrastructures and services.
>>
>> Being the IT hub and the most developed city of India Bangalore
>> becomes an obvious choice for opening a chapter. Bangalore is
>> called the Silicon Valley of India because of the large number
>> of information technology companies located in the city which
>> contributed 33% of India's Rs. 144,214 crore (US$ 31 billion) IT
>> exports in 2006-07. It has been recently declared as the India’s
>> leading IT exporter and which is India's third most populous
>> city and fifth-most populous urban agglomeration and is also a
>> home to some of the most well-recognized colleges, research
>> institutions, Numerous public sector heavy industries, software
>> companies, aerospace, telecommunications, and defense organizations.
>>
>> In recent years, these attributes have propelled Bangalore to
>> the forefront of the high-tech industry boom in India. It has
>> also been ranked as one of the world's fastest growing urban areas.
>> A chapter at Bangalore can serve the community in a much better
>> way by providing a better platform on both national and
>> international level.
>>
>> Other Information:
>>
>> 1>As soon as the chapter is chartered, ISOC Bangalore chapter
>> will have a state of the art web portal within a month.
>>
>> 2>Bangalore chapter of the internet society plans to host an
>> annual All India cyber security essay competition.
>>
>> 3>This draft of the chapter petition and the Bylaws submitted
>> with this application was circulated amongst and ratified by the
>> 28 ISOC Global members who are initiating the Bangalore Chapter.
>> As and when the chapter is chartered and more members join in,
>> the bylaws will be re-debated among the members present in the
>> first meeting of the chapter and any changes subsequently
>> notified to the ISOC.
>>
>> 4>We expect the membership of the chapter to grow over 500
>> within the initial few months itself.
