[Chapter-delegates] ISP Transparency (a follow up to the Open Inter-networking call(s) today)

[Joly MacFie]

First,I have to give my apologies for missing the call. I was napping
after working all night on http://isoc-kh.org !!

I think you are onto something Chris. My suggestions are that

1) you think up a good name for the concept
2) like herdict, you make a brief video that explains it.
