Dear Ted,
My impression is that we should form committees or task forces to discuss
the different aspects that will be discussed in the WTCD. These committees
will be formed by members from different chapters. Each chapter has members
who are specialists in certain aspects of the internet and I think it would
be valuable to ISOC that these committees are formed with specialist from
different countries and cultures. This will be useful for ISOC and IT will
be helpful FOR ISOC Chapters. For instance, Argentina Chapter has
specialists in accessibility, internet governance, engineering of internet,
intellectual property, etc. , these specialists can join forces with similar
specialists of other countries to develop ideas, papers, projects, to advice
the board, etc.
First thing is to build a list of issues that ISOC is interested to have
opinions from specialists in order to check what we have around the world.
Best Regards
Hector

Veni, Olivier and Chapter Delegates and Advisory Council Members,
There is ample thought and desire to gather with ISOC chapters and members
to agree 1) our strategic and tactical objectives and 2) how best to
achieve them; meaning what should our mobilization and engagement strategy
look like. Staff are keen to address this in detail so that there are
resources available to do all that we might want. Of course , this is not
as easy as asking for money and resources and having them show up.
Nevertheless, we Staff are committed to assuring a prioritization of member
and chapter involvement in WTCD preparation and engagement. Public Policy
is convening the Regional Bureaus, Communications and Membership & Services
on a conference call tomorrow to allocate internal tasks, after which you
may expect much more explicit and collaborative communication.
Chapter and member action in the WTDC and beyond is critically important for
the successful inclusion of our positions and values in the outcomes of
these conferences. We welcome your ideas, your collaboration and you
collective action.
More before the end of the week,
Ted

+1 to what Veni said. A handful of Chapters were able to send people as part
of their country delegation and it really made a difference to the outcome.
Kind regards,
Olivier

Thanks - helpful.
It would be good to see some plans on supporting chapters delegates to
participate at the WTDC as members of the isoc delegation or as members of
their respected countries' delegations.
We have talked about it for the WCIT, but back then isoc didn't support any
chapter. Isoc-bulgaria nevertheless was able to send several people, who
were very helpful, not only sitting on the last row, but actually
participating actively and providing precious support to governments.

To the Chapter Delegates and Advisory Council Members of the Internet
Society,
Sally Wentworth (Public Policy) and Jane Coffin (Strategic Development) are
familiar most of you. They have compiled a short message to update you on
two key initiatives begun last year and carried through 2014 for potentially
significant impact. Please take a few moments to review this short update
and feel free to provide any feedback you think appropriate.
Best regards,
Ted

Hello Everyone!
2014 is shaping up to be a critical year and we wanted to share two
near-term targets where we could use your help and expertise —(1) IXP
Toolkit & Best Practices Report & Portal (community feed-back) and (2) the
Upcoming ITU World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC):
1. Throughout 2013 we updated you on the IXP Toolkit & Best Practices
Project. To refresh memories – this is a grant project that aims to promote
and enhance IXP development, the project tries to:
- consolidate and document best practices for creating and improving IXPs
- encourage data collection
- create case studies
- and facilitate work with IXP communities of interest and other partners
(a) Report & Portal: We are aiming for release of the report by the end of
February and for the Portal to go "live" in tandem or just after the Report
release. Both the report and Portal are considered preliminary and are
going to be used to obtain Internet community feed-back. We would really
like to hear back from chapters throughout the year on the report & portal.
You can email Jane Coffin, Director, Development Strategy, (coffin at ISOC.org
<javascript:_e(%7b%7d,%20'cvml',%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%2
0%20%20%20%20%20%20%20'coffin at ISOC.org');> ).
(b) Training, Equipment & Case-studies: The IXP Toolkit project also
facilitates capacity building and has funds for training, workshops,
equipment, and travel for developing/emerging markets. Here are examples of
how we can work together:
-Are you assisting an IXP develop? Let us know if you are interested in a
workshop, training, "twinning" or mentoring from an existing IXP? We may be
able to help.
-Do you need equipment to get started or to upgrade existing facilities?
Let us know, we may have funds to help.
-Did you help start an IXP? Let us know and we could work with you on a
case-study that will go on the IXP Portal.
-Are you interested in helping us provide training in your region? Let us
know as we would be very keen to have chapter delegates help us with
training.
(2) WTDC: As many of you already know, 2014 will be a very busy year for
Internet policy-related conferences. A first big one coming up is the WTDC
(ITU-D’s World Telecommunication Development Conference). Sally Wentworth
ISOC Senior Director, Strategic Public Policy is leading ISOC's preparation
for this event that will be held on 31 March - 11 April, in the UAE.
ISOC Staff is shaping an ISOC contribution to the WTDC now. Our
contribution will have two audiences: first, we will be speaking to the
policy community and offering a perspective on the topics where we have
expertise; second, we will be speaking to the ITU in terms of its future
development activities and workplan.
We would welcome Chapter members' input (keeping in mind the above
audiences) on things we might emphasize in the following areas BY 31
JANUARY:
- Digital Divide / enabling environment
- Local hosting infrastructure
- Regional & Cross-border connectivity
- Human Capacity Building
- Security / spam
We have an ISOC website for WTDC here:
