[Chapter-delegates] ION Bangladesh 2016

[Jahangir Hossain]

Dear Delegates,

Internet Society Bangladesh Dhaka Chapter (http://www.isoc.org.bd/dhaka/)
is delighted  to know that ISOC (global) is organizing an ION event in
Dhaka, Bangladesh in collaboration with BdNOG. This is indeed a great
initiative in raising awareness, capacity building and, overall, carrying
forward ISOC's mission in Bangladesh.

We only learnt about this event from ISOC360 website when one of our
members visited http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/ion/bangladesh2016/.
However, since there have been no prior communication from ISOC (global)
with the chapter about this event we could not respond to our members query
about the chapter's role in this event. As such, we felt bit uncomfortable.
Our chapter is fairly new (since 2011) and we are yet to learn how ISOC
(global) works with chapter in organizing local events. Is it usual that
the local chapter is not informed before doing a local event with another
local entity? we thought it could have been a great way to strengthen a
very active chapter like ours if we were given the opportunity to work in
collaboration or even mentioned!.

We are concerned thinking that  a very active and highly enthusiastic local
chapter has very little value/importance to ISOC (global) in advancing
ISOC's mission in Bangladesh. Our members are also beginning to wonder how
well the local chapter is connected with ISOC (global).

​We would like to hear about other chapter's opinion about this.​
