This will enable ISOC to greatly increase the quantity and quality of the content, as well as use that area to provide more interactions with and between the members. That will lead to a growing pool of prospective volunteers, officers and Trustees. I also managed the enhancement of the look, ease of use, and standards of the ISOC web site. Chapters Many chapters have been formed in the last two years, and I was able to assist most of those efforts. I have also encouraged and supported most of the chapters currently in formation.
Chapters are one of the best ways of involving and benefiting the members.
Chapters can provide valuable input to help ISOC focus on and understand the varying impacts of key issues around the world. They can help us galvanize others to join in our actions on important issues. They can provide leadership in their regions and local areas. To protect the Internet, we must speak as an international organization with a single voice that reflects its principles through policies established by a Board elected by YOU, our worldwide members. ISOC cannot have a separate voice for each of the 150 countries where we have members, or ISOC's influence and ability to protect the Internet will diminish to the point of insignificance.
