C. Purpose and Scope of Chapter

There is no active ISOC Chapter in Brazil and therefore would be 
important to revive the former Chapter that existed in our country to 
specifically fulfills the ISOC Global mission and principles. Moreover, 
the revival of the Brazilian ISOC Chapter would be a step to merge 
several stakeholders in our society under the same organization, 
promoting the open and direct dialogue among academics, technicians, 
Internet users, governmental and private sector representatives. This 
Chapter would also perform a key role to enhance the development of 
Internet in several aspects from infrastructure to public policy.

The Brazilian ISOC Chapter aims (i) to provide local reference for 
technical, social, educational and political aspects related to 
Internet; (ii) to promote the development of
Internet – services and applications, for the benefit of users and 
operators; (iii) to offer a social networking opportunity among ISOC 
members in Brazil and among other ISOC chapters; and (iv) to offer, 
whenever possible, contributions to public policy and decision-making 
processes.

To perform those objectives, we hope to foster several activities: from 
direct communication and documents collection to conference, symposium 
and other events organization, in order to promote educational and 
knowledge sharing experiences. We are already working in the content to 
be published at the website www.isoc.org.br
