[Chapter-delegates] ISOC invited speak at FCC workshop

[Leslie Daigle]

As an additional note, we recently became aware of the FCC NPRM's call- 
out of Internet standards (see section 141 inhttp://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-09-93A1.pdf 
  ).  We saw it as an important opportunity to contribute a brief  
public statement outlining our opinion about the characteristics of  
open Internet standards that are important to preserve.

By way of FYI, I'm attaching the all-but-final version of the  
contribution we will be submitting to the FCC later today.

We are turning this around on short notice, but this is not a new  
opinion (we aired these initially 18 months ago at the ITU Global  
Standards Symposium in Johannesburg).  As we anticipate the question  
of open Internet standards to continue to be of interest around the  
globe, any comments for improvement are certainly welcome.
