[Chapter-delegates] Announcing Global INET 2012!

Fri Jan 13 10:40:24 PST 2012

Ted,

thanks for this announcement.

I hope that it will be very promptly followed up by a message that addresses the specific concerns of chapters which have been expressed in the regional workshops and in this very list over the last days but also over months and years.

Let's say that for many of us the IGF would have never needed to exist if INETs had continued...

And certainly, that we hope that the INET is exemplary in setting the tone of an open, transparent, two-way collaboration of, with, and for the chapters for the comming next 20 years of ISOC.

To all Chapter Delegates,

As a key component of our 20th Anniversary celebration, the Global INET 2012 will serve as a beacon for industry, academia, NGOs, governments, and Internet Society members.  The event will convene industry pioneers; global influencers; ISOC members, chapters and affiliated community; and Internet users to draw attention to the challenges and opportunities impacting the future of the Internet.

Scheduled 22-24 April 2012 at the International de Conférences Genève<http://www.cicg.ch/> in Geneva, Switzerland, the Global INET 2012<http://www.internetsociety.org/events/inet-conferences/global-inet-2012> is a 3 day programme of thought-leader plenary sessions and concurrent sessions.  Our programme will include visionary keynotes and insightful roundtable discussion on critical topics including privacy, net neutrality, IPv6, security, digital content and innovation, and human rights and freedom of expression.   And, with Pre-Conference workshops<http://www.internetsociety.org/events/inet-conferences/global-inet-2012/special-events> for our Chapters, Internet Leaders, and Business Executives, there will be many opportunities for learning, sharing, and networking.

As part of the Global INET, we will host our 20th Anniversary Awards Gala on Monday, 23 April 2012.  This very special evening will mark our 20th anniversary as our inaugural class of honorees is inducted into the new Internet Hall of Fame.

Registration is now open, and I encourage you to take the time to sign up for this exciting event!  We are offering special discounted rates to Internet Society Members.  And, signing up by 20 January 2012 ensures you also qualify for our early bird pricing.
