[Chapter-delegates] Invitation to Participate at the Campus Party in Berlin August 21-26

[Sivasubramanian M]

Ted,

This is an effective way for Chapters to connect Students in their
countries to the Campus Party, perhaps encourage the local students to
organize local events in their own countries and also expand their
membership base with students.

What is the nature of proposed arrangement with the Campus Party? Are they
receptive to discuss the Event Agenda with ISOC and perhaps include topics
related to Internet Governance / Youth Participation in Internet
Governance? If the relationship is forged to be so strong, then it would
indeed be worthwhile for Chapters to organize participation of Chapter
Leaders as also encourage / offer funding / incentives to a few students to
participate. However, Event Registration fee waiver alone does not help.
