[AFRI-Discuss] Internet South Africa - *new* introduction

[Adri Baard]

Good morning Barack, Mary and Wisdom

Forgive me for taking a day to respond, but I wanted to choose my words
carefully.

During the last AGM meeting of ISOC ZA the need was expressed for certain
members to only focus on local Internet Policy needs and regulations.
The requirements from ISOC Global however, while not many, however detract
from the time that these members would like to spend on these needs.

The decision was made to split ISOC ZA into two entities: ISOC ZA would
focus on Local initiatives and keep their name as it is recognised in
Parliament, and Internet South Africa, which would steer the mission of
ISOC Global and the continent.
It is important to note that the split is more a devision of labour and
focus so that the needs of everyone can be met.

If this means that you would like to treat Internet South Africa as a new
ALS, that is OK, but I wouldn't see why as nothing has really changed aside
from our name.

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards
Adri Loubser
