[Chapter-delegates] Reporter's request re: CEO resignation

[Joly MacFie]

Dave, I would point you at Kathy's speech MWC in Shanghai,

which I highlighted for One Web Day.

I directly question your premise that ISOC is not "reaching out to the
global south and incorporating into ISOC the half of the internet
effectively not included".

It's just not true.
