> Introduction – Internet Penetration in Indonesia started in the mid 1990s. By end of 1995 27 ISP licenses were issued.  By 1997 indonesian non profit ISP association (APJII) has initiated its first Internet Exchange in Jakarta. However, the main driving force has been from one specific community: Indonesian ISPs. On related important issues, education the mass, the closest internet conference around APAC has been APRICOT (Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference on Operational Technologies) where APJII had a change also to become a host in 2007.

> It is clear that despite a growing number of ISPs in Indonesia (licenses registered to over 200+), and some Indonesian government initiatives (building more internet exchange in the provincials, delivering so called “internet to highshool/villages” program, etc) the fact remains that some of the more important issues such as DNSSEC implementation has been lagging in Indonesia.
> 
> In short,  for the sake of just “catching up with the rest of the region” on DNSSEC, Ipv6 etc. a focused community on INTERNET related issues should be established. This time, is not just about ISP business (that has been the major focus of APJII – the Indonesian ISP association), but the growth of the overall INTERNET and real benefit to the end users. 
> It is clear that rather than reinventing the wheel, the local community should take a look at the Internet Society Chapter and establish one chapter in Jakarta where all the stake-holders such Business, Government, Private companies, Consultants, NGOs, Universities and end-users are all residing in.

> The Overall Purpose of the Internet Society Indonesia – Jakarta Chapter is as follows:
> 
> §  Nurturing Global Collaboration – by actively participating as Indonesia representative in the global Internet Society (ISOC) ecosystem and strategically position ISOC Indonesia-Jakarta Chapter as the missing piece needed to complete/strengthen the local Indonesian IT Community Sub-Ecosystems (consisting APJII, PANDI, FTII, Mastel and many others). The focus is clear: on Standards, Policy and Education of Internet Technologies.
> 
> For this specific reason, we decided to start ISOC Indonesia chapter in the capital city of  Jakarta. In hoping that this chapter will act as a catalyst for others similar interest communities throughout Indonesian archipelago to start their own chapters in their respective regions.
> 
> §  Assuring continuous Internet Technology adoption – guaranteeing  that in the near future Indonesia is at least on the same par with the rest of the region on specific Internet technologies adoption. Not for the sake of to always implement the newest/latest/greatest Internet technologies prescribed by any vendors (“me too” attitude) but those proven/selected  Internet technologies that will bring demonstrated benefit to the end-users. In return, ISOC Indonesia – Jakarta Chapter will give local perspective feedback to ISOC. Local ISOC Indonesia – Jakarta Chapter will serve as a local trusted resource and partner to government institution, business, organization and universities.
