Dear Jahangir,

You raised a very important point which is chapter development. I 
believe the regional APAC Bureau is particular doing something in that 
regards, and ISOC HK has helped with some works done early last year. I 
haven't however heard much about that ever since. I concur that we have 
some improvements to make in the area of communication and liaison 
between local chapters and ISOC Global.

Regards,

Chester
ISOC HK
