><br>><br>> Dear Colleagues,<br>><br>> There has been growing interest on various lists to have a local ISOC<br>> Chapter up and running, we have had many Kenyans participate in ISOC<br>> programs as fellows, unfortunately we haven't had a forum where we can share<br>
> the knowledge and experiences gained
through the fellowship opportunities.<br>> The purpose of this email is to invite all interested parties to join a<br>> mailing list that has been created to bring together interested stakeholders<br>> so that we can deliberate on how to establish an open and inclusive ISOC<br>
> chapter that will be based on �a multistakeholder model. Kindly note that we<br>> will be required to be global ISOC members as a<br>> prerequistite.<a href="https://portal.isoc.org/EBusiness/NewMemberStepOne.aspx" target="_blank">https://portal.isoc.org/EBusiness/NewMemberStepOne.aspx</a>.
