[Chapter-delegates] New board members and why the challenge to IP is freaking serious

[Roberto Zambrana]

Dear Andrew,

I hope you are well, during this long crisis.

I agree about the importance of this matter, and I would like to have a
common approach about making our position as ISOC stronger. At least per
regions.

In my case a have a good relationship with current authorities, so I would
try to expose the risks of what is coming in the near future. And I am sure
many of our Chapter Leaders are in similar position. The think is, besides
analyse background documents and construct an informed opinion, how can we
articulate and contribute with our most capacities?

Best regards,

Roberto
