I fully agree with this, Frode.
ISOC has a (small) presence at the massive Telecom'95 exhibition being held
right now in Geneva - in fact I and a group of volunteers from the newly
formed ISOC Geneva Chapter are running the ISOC stand in the exhibition.
I will see if I can get this matter raised, at least in question-times and
maybe other contacts, with some people that may be able to help. In particular
there is a weekend sub-conference called "Internet@localhost" tomorrow and
Sunday which would be a good forum.

By the way, it would be nice if ISOC had more European Chapters - so far
only Geneva, Norway, Israel and Catalonia have formed anything. Our influence
in Europe depends on our presence. Where are the big countries in all this?
