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

[Khaled KOUBAA]

Small comment :
Chapter should enough capable to "play" at the ITU arena to not be 
"influenced" by their  "huge" local influence.

Technically, the IETF would welcome an improved working relationship with the ITU, and has spent the better part of 15 years trying to make it happen. That said, the IETF is about "making the Internet better adapted to changing needs"; we would appreciate the ITU adopting a similar stance as opposed to "to increase the role of the ITU".

Yes, I think the chapters would do well to interact with their relevant governmental entities on policy, and that probably includes the ITU. The one question to beware of is the intent of the folks one is meeting with. Productive meetings are on the topic of "making the Internet better adapted to changing needs from a policy perspective"; "increasing the role" of any single venue is not a good reason to meet.

>> 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.
