Dear Colleagues,

As a global organization with trustees, employees, chapters and members all
over the world, we are deeply troubled by actions taken by the U.S. on
Friday that placed immediate and unprecedented bans on entry to the United
States of citizens and refugees of seven majority-Muslim countries.

Not only will the purported bans place an unwarranted burden on people in
our organization, it is an anathema to the Internet Society whose values
rest firmly on a commitment to an open, globally connected community
dedicated to the open, global Internet. We are encouraged by the countries
who have rejected the U.S. action this weekend and by the human rights
organizations that have stood in solidarity with countless refugees and
travelers who were so abruptly halted in entering the U.S.

We are watching developments; I will keep you updated as we know more.

Kathy Brown

President/CEO
