[Chapter-delegates] Urgent suggestion

[Norbert Klein]

Thanks for raising this question also on the Chapter Delegates List.

Thanks for the first response from Joly pointing to the Streisand effect.

I hope for further responses, as I think it is important that there is 
more exchange among Chapters and with ISOC Staff about the different 
painful interventions by authorities into the freedom and life of 
Netizens - often with very shaky reasons - as in this case from Nepal 
("brinzal" can also spelled "brinjal" for "eggplants").

Apart from our discussions about ITU and PRISM and WCIT which I consider 
also important, I am always hoping that questions of personal security 
and integrity of our fellow Internet uses ("The Internet is for 
everyone") receive also more space in our exchanges - especially also 
relating to solidarity activities for Chapters and their environment, 
from ISOC central and from the ISOC regional offices.
