[Chapter-delegates] OneWebDay videos, Broadband comes to Harlem, Open Video Conference

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Joly,

nothing to fear from the Dynamic Coalition for OneWebDay nor anyone else.

I will come back later or tomorrow with more information which I now long 
owe you all.

I do encourage all to go through the recordings and/or transcripts of 
three IGF sessions: the Dynamic Coalition on Core Values, the Core Values 
Across Generations session, and the session on the future of the IGF in 
which "core values" were proposed as theme for the next IGF and I tried 
(hopefully with some success) to not let that go in ways opposite to 
ISOC's principles, keeping it open instead.

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
