[Chapter-delegates] Application to form a chapter in Barbados

[Niel Harper]

Hello All,

I am very familiar with many of the members on the Barbados chapter application.

In general, they are bright, committed, and well-respected ICT and Internet professionals who will do an excellent job promoting ISOC’s mission and values.

Barbados has also hosted a number of key I* community meetings such as CaribNOG, ARIN, NANOG, etc. Many of the individuals in the proposal have participated in these meetings.

Regards,

Hello,

I know several of the members on this application and can vouch for their abilities and passion.

For those who may not be aware, Barbados is a Small Island Developing State (SIDS) in the Caribbean just 34 km (21 mi) in length by 23 km (14 mi) in width, covering an area of 432 square km (167 sq mi). It is ranked 200th in the world in terms of land area and 181st in the world in terms of population size.

The Internet Community in Barbados, however, punches above its weight and, fuelled by the work and drive of several of the very same founding members listed on the application can boast of a WEF GITR Networked Readiness ranking of 39 (#1 in the English-speaking Caribbean).

Some may also recognize the some of the listed founding members as organizers of the Barbados Remote Hub (@bbremotehub) - the Hub being one of the first to remotely contribute to ICANN's IANA Stewardship Community Consultations last year in London. Several of the listed founding members were key participants and collaborator in the recent inaugural Caribbean Peering and Interconnection Forum (carpif.net<http://carpif.net>) event held in Barbados from May 27-28, 2015.

I 100% support the formation of another English-speaking Caribbean ISOC Chapter and welcome Barbados' application to ISOC's growing family.

Best wishes,

Tracy Hackshaw

Apologies for sending incomplete email. Sometime working on smart phones make one so flimsy,

I was going to write that the Barbados applicant doesn't provide the background of the founding members. It is important to find the diversity among the group members.
