Statement of Acceptance

Having served as Program Chair for INET'92 held in Kobe, I think
the Internet Society (IS) should promote internets internationally
through: (1) Publication of online journals. Currently, ISOC
publishes only a quarterly newsletter. It is desirable for ISOC to
publish a technical journal but this presents a cost problem. I
propose that ISOC to issue two online journals, one for refereed
papers and another for freely submitted papers, and store them in
an anonymous ftp system to be maintained by IS. Since papers would
contain figures and photographs, ISOC should lead the
standardization and use of multimedia document transmission
formats. (2) Formation of international chapters. Inviting
participants from developing countries is becoming an
INET-conference tradition. This requires funding not only from each
INET host country but also from other countries. Thus it is
desirable to establish a local/national chapter in each
region/country to increase membership and raise funds. (3) Interna-
tional internet promotion activities. There are many countries in
the world where we need much promotional activities for networking
and internetworking. If ISOC can make and publish a list of
volunteer lecturers (and preferably their overseas travel
schedules), for example, many groups will be able to invite such
experts to their activities. There can be many other activities
under the umbrella of ISOC.
