[Chapter-delegates] What should ISOC's future goals be? How can we work toward achieving them as ISOC Chapters?

[Alan Levin]

Hi George, Veni,

You are correct, it is NOT the interest of the Chapters to reply.

It appears from Andrews reply that ISOC is, and always will be a USA
centric organisation and the USA just has different laws to the rest of so
it does not matter what we say.

ISOC global is acting like a charity for non-USA organisations and it has
been given the license by the global netizens. This is why ISOC-ZA split
from Internet South Africa.

I can also point out that we have an internet governance meltdown in my
country. The .za domain name has ended the registry contract without a
roadmap for a new registry operator and totally destabilised the cctld.
Furthermore, as you know AfriNICs bank account has been frozen for months.
When I asked ISOC global about this they said they will get "an action
team" onto it...

I am so sorry but you have failed to establish "trust" from my perspective.
Noone will provide you with decent replies in such a state.

Good Luck!

Alan
