[Chapter-delegates] Application to form an ISOC Chapter in Egypt

[Victor Ndonnang]

Dear Sabrina,

Thanks for the update. 

Egypt inspired the world and showed us how the Internet can be a catalyst for change and a powerful tool for freedom of expression and democracy. Who doesn't remember Egypt's peaceful revolution through social media?

I wish great success to this rejuvenating process and expected to welcome very soon a "new" Internet Society Egypt Chapter.

Best regards,

Victor Ndonnang
ISOC Cameroon Chapter.
