[Chapter-delegates] ChAC SC 2027 - Ibrahim Moussa (ISOC Chad): if it works in Chad, it can work for every chapter

[IBRAHIM MOUSSA]

Dear Chapter Delegates,
I am Ibrahim Moussa, President of the Internet Society Chad Chapter, and I
am asking for your vote for the 2027 ChAC Steering Committee.
I come from one of the most challenging Internet environments in the world:
a landlocked country, with costly access and limited infrastructure. That
is exactly why I am running. Chapters like ours learn to deliver with very
little, and that experience can serve the whole community.
What our chapter has delivered:
• Co-founded TCHADIX, Chad's first Internet Exchange Point (2024),
presented at AfPIF 2026 in Kigali
• Member of the national IGF MAG and active in the Central Africa IGF and
its school (CASIG)
• National cybersecurity awareness month with Chad's cybersecurity agency
• As a university lecturer and head of department at ENASTIC since 2019, I
have trained hundreds of young people who now join our community
What I will bring to the ChAC in 2027:
1. Chapters helping chapters: pair experienced and emerging chapters, so no
chapter starts from zero.
2. A practical toolkit, built from real cases, on how a small chapter can
launch a national project (an IXP, a national IGF, a youth school).
3. A real voice for under-represented chapters: a quarterly open call for
Francophone and Central African chapters, with their priorities carried to
the Steering Committee.
4. Training at the heart of the ChAC: my experience as an educator, put at
the service of capacity building across regions.
I am fully available for this role: I will attend every Steering Committee
meeting, answer this list, and report back regularly to all of you.
Voting opens on Thursday 22 October. I would be honoured to have your trust.

Chers délégués des chapitres,
Je viens d'un pays où l'Internet reste un défi quotidien. C'est précisément
ma force : nos chapitres savent agir avec peu de moyens. Avec ISOC Tchad,
nous avons cofondé TCHADIX, premier point d'échange Internet du pays,
contribué au FGI national et formé des centaines de jeunes. Enseignant
depuis 2017, je mettrai cette expérience au service de tous les chapitres :
entraide entre chapitres, boîte à outils pratique, voix renforcée pour les
chapitres francophones et d'Afrique centrale. Je suis pleinement disponible
pour cette mission. Le vote s'ouvre le jeudi 22 octobre : je compte sur
votre confiance.
Warm regards / Bien cordialement,
Ibrahim Moussa
President, Internet Society – Chad Chapter
