[Chapter-delegates] How can ISOC chapters help in the development of IP-based networks?

[Veni Markovski]

Hi.

Changing the subject, I'd like to draw everyone's attention to a vital 
part of the ITU Plenipot 2010 resolutions, the words "including, but not 
limited to".

The Internet-related resolutions resolved that the ITU should

1. explore ways and means for greater collaboration and coordination 
between ITU and
relevant organizations* involved in the development of IP-based networks 
and the future Internet,
through cooperation agreements, as appropriate, in order to increase the 
role of ITU in Internet
governance so as to ensure maximum benefits to the global community

* Including, but not limited to ICANN, the RIRs, the IETF, ISOC and W3C, 
on the basis of reciprocity
basis.

Now, my suggestion for the chapters is to see which one of you can get 
involved in the work the ITU does, as the resolution calls for the ITU 
to engage through cooperation agreements, etc., and since the words only 
name some of the organizations, it does not exclude the others, quite 
the contrary - it includes them. If any chapter has the capacity to work 
in the areas, covered by Resolution 101, 102, 133, then it should 
approach the ITU - via its regional offices, or via the national 
representative (usually Ministry of Communications), and see what you 
could do to promote the development of IP-based networks.

best,
Veni
