[Chapter-delegates] Application to start an Internet Society Chapter: Lao People's Democratic Republic (Laos)

[James Olorundare]

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.
