Asunto: Re: [Chapter-delegates] (Renewed) Application to form a Chapter in Azerbaijan

I guess I will be the one to first ask several questions, before bring this candidacy for discussion within our Board at ISOC-Bulgaria, and hope we can get some feedback?

My main concern - I don't see at least two of the people, who have been involved with the development of the Internet in the country - Faik Farmanov (the ccTLD), and Yashar Hajiyev (with whom we did a lot of work 10 years ago in the Global Internet Policy Initiative). I wonder why are they not supportive?

Second, what I find a coincidence, but still need some clarification - the supporting organizations listed are represented by the same person, unless these are two people with the same name. Could we get some clarification on that?

Third, could we hear what is the relation of the chapter with the government, more specifically the Ministry of Communication and IT, which is developing several programs for broadband Internet in the country, and the region?

Thanks!

Please, see attached new Application to create Azerbaijan ISOC Chapter.

This application is the result of our discussions, which started at
IGF in Baku and were continued since then. We have formed a discussion
list isoc-az to which all ISOC members living in Azerbaijan have been
invited. In this list, which included over 25 members, the long-term
and short-term program of the Chapter has been discussed and agreed
upon. This was the base of the application draft, which again has been
sent to all ISOC members living in Azerbaijan for final comments.
Comments have been taken into account and with the current e-mail we
send you the final version for your consideration. Let me add add that
this draft has been sent also to Mr Nariman Hajiyev (co-author and
contact person of the previous application) and no objection from his
side has been received.

With best regards.
