Dear colleagues,

Today we celebrate 20 years since the day we founded the Internet Society of Bulgaria (<http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fisoc.bg%2Findex_en.html&h=9AQHMfa9AAQH1ZSl3SGS8Luitn8OjeKqnk036hlVBURFwJw&enc=AZMnl2_p1V-o09o2OwuCUBrGgapMAB2gePyhxtf0YaQBmgUH4tgUpjh-h76GBaf43NSOFL787la2mjdZ04NbQChA5TGVYG9ckC47pIgeXdjbUxnab8s4yGZHvl6mhFkdiYXr56YflTRLh44vewAMSFBrOLUJ9TZJwpMddNpjvqt6yruBjnngn7YdE_xFOW3mOPs&s=1>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://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fisoc.bg%2Fkpd%2Findex-eng.html&h=iAQF4BEXJAQGAtB5MPj_EIx9Cv0r5jJRS8T5Q0u4DPRl1ug&enc=AZN1P_iFfkvVn188-OlUypFYx29oDld4p-PCZ8bPKWSzNE_s02PHOAZKtCCf842bzNYocATT2a8OXJ7BDzHiC-ihYQVTFuanlOWaImio5AxA10Bl2AcgeNfIMo6xn6kjhd0otW1rrOREzWc0HXrm_s5UlikUEaXpOJ3Ja42DzLjOenlDdUrioY9ehf2JlLcurfM&s=1> 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>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
