- Statement of Acceptance
-
- I have been involved with the Internet for almost 8 years and plan
- to continue my involvement. The Internet Society has the
- opportunity to be a dynamic force in the Internet world. It needs
- to provide substance for the professional development of its
- membership. It must find out what the membership needs and find
- appropriate mechanisms to meet those needs. The first year of the
- Internet Society has been, on the whole, uneventful. I would like
- to help the Internet Society reach a well-respected status in the
- community and from peer communities. I believe that the only way
- of accomplishing this is to make the Society much more visible,
- through a limited number of dynamic projects. The Society is
- needed, but it must show some momentum soon.
