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

Wed Jul 25 08:18:45 PDT 2012

Dear Alejandro,

I share your concerns about possibly strong terms of business, However,
Campus Party, as a successful Event Organization, might have so far dealt
with Event Partners and such situations probably required strong, terms of
business.

The reasons for Internet Society's interest is non-commercial, and as the
Organization that is home to the Internet Community, there is so much that
we could give than take from Campus Party. What is required is a discussion
with the founders on our non-commercial intent and see if we could partner
with them on terms acceptable to us. We could wait and see how this goes
before we decide on what to do.

here.

people who have refused to sign)

> What immediately occurs to me is that this gathering of students would be
fascinated by an opportunity to meet Jeff Moss, Dan Kaminsky, Bruce
Schneier and others.  Internet Society could offer to reach out to (and
fully fund the expenses of)  these experts who have a profound sense of
balance.  I have 'dropped' three names to convey the idea, and I am sure
that Chapters could come up with a hundred suggestion of names that are
greatly admired by the next generation,

or a discussion on Secure Social Networking, these experts with an
understanding of the larger picture as well as the subtleties, could impart
enormous value to the Campus Party, and create interest among students to
take part in ISOC, ICANN At Large and IGF.

around a program similar to the one suggested above, it would produce
definite results.

of students, funding for even their own members and speakers is
challenging. Nevertheless, there is, we believe, tremendous value in
connecting with these self-professed ‘geeks’ and channeling their passion
and desire for doing good in society at large to support the work of the
Internet Society.  Their own website mentions the promotion of the
accessible, secure Internet that supports innovation and social
connection.   We’re looking to have action-focused conversations with
gamers, hackers, apps developers, you name it. and infuse our work with
their ideas for developing the future Internet.

>> 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.

>> Among the many on-going projects and partnerships to have emerged  from
the Global INET is a growing relationship between the Internet Society  and
Campus Party.  Some of you have been members of the Campus Party in your
university days.  Founded over 16 years ago, Campus Party is organized for
the purpose of harnessing the energy of university youth to advance
technology for social good.  More about Campus Party  can be found at
http://www.campus-party.org/What_is_it.html

>> The Internet Society and the Campus Party are exploring ways to work
together around the globe to bring vitality to ISOC membership and bring
direction for the future to their members, known as Campuseros.  This
positive and responsible-thinking global group wants to partner with ISOC
and in particular ISOC Chapters in order to be involved in the key issues
affecting the Internet. We are reviewing a Statement of Shared Principles
document which we intend to sign in the near future and will encourage
Campuseros to join the Internet Society and to join a local chapter.
>>

>> Finally, this year's main Campus Party will be held in Berlin, August 21
- 26 and Campus Party has invited every ISOC Chapter to come and
participate. One of our ISOC Chapter leaders and a former Campusero
himself, Hans Peter Dittler will be speaking at one of the sessions and
other ISOC participants will be joining discussion panels. We hope that all
of you can take advantage of this incredible congregation of young
technology explorers, their enthusiasm and their desire to make a
progressive difference in society.   Campus Party leaders have told us they
want to encourage all the Campuseros to join ISOC chapters where they can.
What a great infusion of new blood this could be for all of us.  Please, if
you can, join The Internet Society Staff and Campus Party in Berlin!

>> Campus party has agreed to make 40 free registrations available for
Chapter members who will attend this event.  No travel fellowships are
available currently.  Nevertheless, this opportunity for outreach and
participation is extraordinary and I encourage all to take every advantage
we can of this new relationship and especially of this upcoming technology
festival!.

>>
>> There will be a second email within two weeks with additional details of
planned events and participation from various groups.  It would be our
great pleasure to see 30 or 40 or more chapters represented at Campus
Party.  There is much we will do together imagining the Future Internet.
