[Chapter-delegates] ION Bangladesh 2016

[Tracy F. Hackshaw @ Google]

Hello Jahangir,

I thoroughly empathize.

It would indeed be excellent to obtain the ISOC Policy on matters of this
nature so that local Chapters can know how to proceed/react in situations
of this nature and how they can offer support to the ISOC Global
organization.

Rgds,

Tracy Hackshaw
