Just to be clear: that is NOT what I had asked for when I wrote: "Does 
ISOC Global, or the affected Regional Bureaus, have any procedures or 
suggestions for such a case?"


Thanks also, Eric, for your question about community responses. We 
discuss such things locally - some with strategic people who do not want 
to be quoted publicly. So what you say is clear: "If we did not value 
community feedback, it would be trivial for ISOC to respond to such 
incidents" - that mean ISOC Global acts, in principle, in response to 
community feedback.

Thanks for your comment, Joly: "While ISOC might hesitate as a body to 
issue an immediate policy statement, there is nothing to stop individual 
members or even chapters from joining in the chorus of criticism."

But my question had also been directed at the Regional Bureaus' 
functions and actions in general in cases of problems or of a crisis in 
the region.

Even if the Pakistan Twitter problem may get out of the way, my 
questions relate to the "next case" probably coming.
