[Chapter-delegates] A huge day for Internet in Tunisia

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Khaled,

I like many others am enthusiastic about the changes in your country, 
which is dear to many of us, esp. those who have traveled there and 
experienced at least one of its wonderful facets.

That there are immense challenges ahead is illustrated by the events in 
the news today, where the good news of the resignation of high officials 
is accompanied with the worrisome ones of violence and a power vacuum.

Let us hope that this one is filled with a transition to a more open 
society, in which traditional values mix with tolerance and enlightenment 
to make life better for Tunisians.

And let us all be ready in ISOC Chapters and HQ to work together with 
people in Tunis in order to foster, facilitate, and build an Internet with 
broader reach, access to knowledge, technological as well as social 
innovation, and an exemplary transition to peace and democracy. May it 
last, thanks first of all to Tunisians and not least to the Internet.

We stand by you for this.

Alejandro Pisanty
