Rodel,
I take from your email two complementary notes: that we must try in each
chapter to make ISOC more visible and influential, and that the same goes
for the global organization.
That, though, is exactly what we all do, within our limited resources and
according to our circumstance.
Let's step it up and do it more smartly, let's all share the
responsibility and the work.
