Subject: [Chapter-delegates] 20 years of ISOC Bulgaria

 

Dear colleagues, 

Today we celebrate 20 years since the day we founded the Internet Society of
Bulgaria (http://isoc.bg/index_en.html). 

Little did we know in 1995 that we'll become the first, and the leading
Internet-policy related organization in Bulgaria. We became known in 1999,
when we sued the Bulgarian government at he Supreme Administrative Court
against the licensing for the ISPs they have introduced. You can read more
details about the case here: http://isoc.bg/kpd/index-eng.html

Our expertise was used through the years to help draft legislation, provide
expertise support for the government, help people and organizations in need
of Internet-related know-how, etc. 

We were also asked in 2002 to draft the statute of the first Bulgarian
President's Information Technology Advisory committee, where we invited as
members Vint Cerf, Esther Dyson, George Sadowsky, Piritta Sorsa, Don Heath
and Richard Delmas
(http://www.president.bg/archive-2002-2012/en/adm_sit.php).

Thank you all - for your support, and hope to see you around in another 20
years 

Best,
Veni 
Co-founder and Chairman of the Board
