[Chapter-delegates] Application to form the Internet Society Chapter on Internet of Food

[Sivasubramanian M]

Dear Joyce


Though the name appears a bit strange, if the founding members have the
vision, will and strength to gather the required resources in terms of
membership and other forms of support,  this might turn out to be a
positively disruptive effort towards causing the Internet eco-system to
bring about global development. Internet has yet unexplored potential to
address and swiftly resolve the world's problems.

This proposal is a step in that direction. Several other initiatives could
follow.
