>>   Hello Everyone!
>>
>>
>>  2014 is shaping up to be a critical year and we wanted to share two

>>

>>  1.  Throughout 2013 we updated you on the IXP Toolkit & Best Practices

>>
>> - 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 r*eport 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).
>>
>>
>>  (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

>>
>> -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

>> 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:
>> http://www.internetsociety.org/development/world-telecommunication-development-conference-wtdc.
