Hi everyone, 



A warm hello from the European Chapter Advocacy meeting in Madrid.
We are having 22 chapters in the room, a total of 25 people, including our newest Chapters in Europe, Talgat from Kazakstan and Bermet from Kyrgyzstan. 
Check the attached picture for a feel of the room.



From ISOC Global Engagement team we have Raul Echeberria, Frederic Donck, Tommi Karttaavi and myself, and Konstantinos Komaitis joined us from the Public Policy team as well.



After a great welcome reception, where old and new friends met informally, the discussion started this morning.
The new format of the Chapter Workshops, focusing more on Policy issues has produced not only updates from the various Chapters on how they work with government, but also some very interesting local perspectives on Encryption and Blocking and Filtering. 



We heard and shared some great examples on what to do, what not to do, and came up with some suggestions on how to address certain issues.



The discussions will not stop here and I’m sure we will continue the conversations online going forward.



I will let others who are here in Madrid chime in, but wanted to share the good vibe.



Warm regards
Joyce
