[Chapter-delegates] ISOC meetings in San Francisco - Internet Observatory project proposal

[Jacek Gajewski]

Dear Tommi,

     this is an exciting and useful idea and I would be glad to
contribute. Note that there were several similar EC & UN -funded
projects. You can contact Prof. Oliver Popov from Stockholm
University, who was deeply involved in them and whom I cc to this
mail.

     BTW Prof. Popov is also ISOC member and contributed substantially
to ISOC community building in Macedonia.

With best regards,
Jacek Gajewski
ISOC-PL

> The project in a nutshell:
> - International portal for information on national approaches to public
> policy issues concerning the Internet
> - Content consists of reports written by contributors
> - Contributors are members of ISOC Chapters and other partners
> - Reports are published as blog entries and categorised by tagging
> - Reporting language is English
> - Reports should be short, neutral, stating the facts and providing links to
> further information (e.g. law texts, news)
> - Reports can be discussed
>
> Objectives
> - Making it easy to find and compare Internet public policy related
> information in different countries
> - Increasing transparency
> - Building awareness of globally emerging issues

> We are applying for a small grant for setting up the platform and getting it
