[Chapter-delegates] Possible collaboration on events

[David Solomonoff]

I'd like to concur with both Chris and Zaid. It's important for ISOC to 
use terminology that people recognize if we want to successfully reach 
out beyond our current active membership.

We can propose new policy alternatives but if we don't seem to be 
talking about issues that people are familiar with it will be hard to 
build support for them.

An event such as the one I originally suggested could have both "Net 
Neutrality" and "Open Inter-networking" in the title.
