Dear Christopher,

could you please describe, why we need Regional Bureaus today, when we
have all necessary tools for communications using the Internet?

And why  it is necessary to have decentralized staff? Each ISOC
Chapter is a natural representative of  the Internet  community and
can act as a local staff.

With respect
Grigori Saghyan
ISOC.AM
