-ed, just to put this figure into perspective (not that I say the 
following is "precise" but it gives some hints) what $150 means as the 
fee to participate in Geneva as an ISOC member. - Even if somebody paid 
my ticket, this is out for me (my salary, for may year, had nothing to 
do with my passport nationality - my choice to work with Cambodian 
NGOs). And this mail is not to blame any individual - it is just a plea 
that those who are in the upper ten groups in the list down here should 
not forget the lower ten groups when making general statements in the 
name of ISOC - "The internet is for everyone."

Or just hide and change this slogan.

Ever wonder what's the average salary in other countries? The list below 
sort them out in US$...

Again the list is in US$, convert to your local currencies to get 
localized quote.

2 Switzerland - Geneva / 4246.72
3 Norway - Oslo / 4077.44
4 Ireland - Dublin / 3849.28
5 USA - New York / 3680
6 Luxembourg - Luxembourg / 3610.08
8 UK - London / 3532.8
9 Denmark - Copenhagen / 3521.76
11 Finland - Helsinki / 3278.88
12 Japan - Tokyo / 3216.32
13 Germany - Frankfurt / 3146.4


60 China - Shanghai / 482.08
61 Colombia - Bogota / 478.4
62 Ukraine - Kiev / 426.88
63 Kenya - Nairobi / 408.48

Cambodia is, of course, not on the list – too low.
