Dear Chapter Colleagues,

May I take a moment, on the eve of the new year, to thank you and to congratulate you on your work and success in 2017.  It seems right to attach this message to Joly’s note pointing to the videos of some of the work across the world.  And to thank Joly, as well, for his persistence and insistence that we make our work available to each other.

I have had the privilege of meeting and learning from so many of you over the past years and continue to be inspired by your commitment and passion.  As we all know, the work is never done, the opportunities are great and the challenges are many. And, we will have disagreements from time to time on what focus to take and on how to tackle the important issues that arise in so many different places in the world.

Yet, in this year, we, together, recommitted with raised voices to our mission:  to ensure that everyone has access to the Internet that is open, globally-connected, trustworthy and secure. We demonstrated over and over the power we can harness together to meet the demands of the future. I am hopeful that the very use of the Internet to connect and collaborate, as we did during our InterCommunity celebration, will provide all of us in the Internet Society with new ways of being effective in meeting our mission.  And that the enthusiasm of both the veteran and new Chapters, together with the continuing establishment of diverse and innovative SIGs —and the inclusion of more women and young innovators —will propel ISOC forward regionally and globally.

I eagerly anticipate 2018 and look forward to our continuing efforts to make the Internet available and secure for everyone, everywhere.

With Very Best Wishes for a Happy New Year,

Kathy

No 5 in the 12 streams. Apologies. I was so busy juggling videos, titles and captions on this one, I didn't have time to do a mail out! That's why you should be subscribed to the Livestream Channel! It's worth taking the time (90 mins) to watch all the videos. Amazing to see the breadth of Chapter efforts to engage the youngest Internet users around the world. Although ISOC Turkey deservedly won the popular vote, personally I liked Kazakhstan's IoT Workshop. ISOC Sri Lanka has a crazy soundtrack. Special kudos to ISOC Estonia for providing full English captioning for their video. Any volunteers to transcribe ISOC Yemen?

The livestream below is also available on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety/videos/10154888177078239/>.  All individual videos are available on YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXCJAukq_OVFLAsmz3Hp0sBbtjSO6hVaP>.

[livestream]<https://livestream.com/internetsociety/chapterthon2017>All ISOC Chapters<https://www.internetsociety.org/chapters/> could participate in global Internet Society Chapterthon 2017<https://www.internetsociety.org/beyond-the-net/chapterthon/2017/> with the theme 'Digital Schools!'. Chapters were challenged with developing a project within a timeline and budget to achieve a common goal for the development of education and the Internet. Once the projects<https://www.internetsociety.org/beyond-the-net/chapterthon/2017/projects/> were finalized, a community vote decided the best project which received a prize.

This winner was the Internet Society Turkey Chapte<http://isoc.org.tr/>r for the project Coding Sisters<https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2017/12/chapterthon-2017-winner/>, which had the aim of optimizing the opportunities for girls to be involved in STEM field.
