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.
