[Chapter-delegates] Happy New Year

[Raul Echeberria]

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to take this opportunity to wish a very Happy New Year to everyone around the world who is part of the Internet Society community--Members, Chapters, partners, and friends.

Looking back at the past year, I truly believe we have many things to be happy about. In 2010, we worked together to make sure the Internet continued to evolve as a platform that empowers people to share ideas and connect with each other in new ways. We helped ensure that the principles at the core of the Internet’s success remained central to the technologies and policies shaping its growth. Through our collective efforts, we helped establish and strengthen the multistakeholder institutions and approaches necessary for the Internet’s continued success.

I also am extremely pleased that the Internet Society community continued to grow in every region around the world, with more Individual Members, Organization Members, and Chapters than a year ago.

As the number of Internet users around the world reaches beyond 2 billion, I believe the year ahead looks equally bright. Our continued cooperation on issues facing the Internet’s development will be critical. But our common vision of an Internet that truly is for everyone provides us strength, and promises even greater success.

 

Most sincerely,


Raúl Echeberría
Chair, Board of Trustees
Internet Society
