Dear Chapter Leaders,

It is heartwarming to see a new Internet Society Chapter in the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Laos).


The application looks good, and we (ISOC NG)  therefore support it.


Thank you.

Hi All,
This looks like an exciting application.  So good to see other chapters in Asia forming. One thing I did not see among the list of members is the stakeholder groups they belong to.  I find this very helpful in reviewing the application.  They also seem to be very focused on technical issues and less focused on policy issues. I am assuming connectivity remains a challenge as does education and would love to see more of a focus on these issues along with the technical issues.

Best,
Judith.

If you know of any active Internet Society members in Laos who are interested in joining this initiative, please let me know via rajiyung at isoc.org<mailto:rajiyung at isoc.org> . I will happily connect them to the volunteers who submitted this application.


Your comments and input will help us make a final decision on this application and move to the next steps.
