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

[Janvier Noulaye]

Hi to All,
I will join the views of Leah, Evan, Carlos, Olivier and other to said that
I would support SIGs topic based groups.
This kind of Chapter on "Internet of Food"  is not aligned with the ISOC
Mission. It is clearly said that  "The Internet Society's mission is to
promote the open development, evolution, and use of the Internet for the
benefit of all people throughout the world."  I highlight here  three
groups of words: open development of the internet, evolution of the
Internet and use of the Internet.  If we take the last group of words and
connecting it to Food, we can get: "use the Internet to access to Food".
This sounds better as a Community Grant projet to develop, not like an ISOC
Chapter to form.
I can not believe that the authors of the concept of Chapter had expected
to link it with Food.

Regards,
/Janvier Ngnoulaye
