[Chapter-delegates] Congratulations to ISOC.NL

[Charles Mok (gmail)]

Dear Olaf and all the friends at ISOC NL,

Congratulations and I noticed the news of the 25th anniversary of the NL
chapter on social media postings last week and I thought, 25 years is a
long time, and indeed a long time for a chapter to stay active and
contributing to the global community. It's really not easy, so congrats
once again for that, and keep up the great work!! :)

Charles
