Perhaps the best way to frame this is that ISOC's stance on "Net
Neutrality" is described by the phrase "Open Internetworking."

My goal as a chapter leader is not to convince everyone to stop saying
"net neutrality" but rather to explain to them the concept of open
internetworking and advance the preservation of the open Internet.
This way we can avoid being "for" or "against" net neutrality (because
net neutrality is understood as different things by different people)
and instead support the worthy ideal of open internetworking.
