[Chapter-delegates] Application to form Internet Society India Trivandrum Chapter

[Sivasubramanian M]

Dear Naveed,


I support the formation of the Internet Society Trivandrum Chapter and hope
that this would reflect the opinion of most of our Members. Satish Babu is
known for his constructive participation in ICANN and in the Internet
Governance Forum, and he has been a participant and Leader in various
organizations in India that contribute to Internet Technical processes,
including IDN working groups.

The team proposed has some diversity already and we would hope that the
larger list of members would have greater diversity.

Many of our Members at the Internet Society India Chennai Chapter are from
Kerala region, and we would be happy to write to them about the formation
of the Trivandrum Chapter and ask them to become a Member in the local
Chapter.

Thank you
Sivasubramanian M
President
Internet Society India Chennai​
