[Chapter-delegates] Does your Chapter want to be a remote hub for the Global INET?

[Eduard Tric]

Maybe China will hear (and listen ) to Inet conference , and eventually not jump into to UN _ ITU wagon of over-government control of Internet ????
Otherwise i agree with John , we should applaude and recognize some facts, results.

To the contrary. They use the ISOC name. Why should this chapter get a pass just because it is in China? Read the requirements of ISOC's affiliation agreement for Chapters. If you do not stand for ISOC's principles, your usurpation of the name needs to be pointed out and those responsible need to work with the offedning body to encourage compliance. What they do that is good should be applauded?

It's always been widely known,at least within ISOC, that the Internet Society of China is a non-aligned body with regard to the Global Internet Society. They have expressed in the past the imperatives, which we may or may not understand or validate, that make them choose this path. 


That said, engagement is good. We have, some years back, hosted their representatives in NYC. They were politely interested in what we had to say, as indeed were we the other way. Not everything they do is bad, by any means. 


It really smacks of hubris for us to tell them what they can call themselves or, because of pique, not welcome them to engage to the best of our ability. Such actions can only play to the rationale of those that wish to replace the open multistakeholder model with a top-down treaty based regime like the ITU.
