[Chapter-delegates] Microsoft proposes an Internet Licensing System and a World Health Organization for the Internet

[Patrick Vande Walle]

Zaid and all,

Certainly, I expect that the Trust and Identity and other initiatives will translate into draft position papers that can circulated for consultation among the ISOC membership in a not too distant future. 

Once finalized, they will be very helpful in helping the chapters and others respond to local policy makers' enquiries.   

We now have a process in place to consult the chapters. Let's see if it works.
