Dear All
Previous successes greetings and wish everyone, my question is why my
country Peru, also not involved ?, I take to report that the Chapter
of ISOC, is inactive, despite alleging that this organization has
fallen into the hands of a fascineroso, not representing civil
society, has not done anything so far, where is democracy and
participation ?, makes Governance in these and other issues of
discrimination by unscrupulous individuals who make the Internet a
juicy business? .
I hope your answers
Best regards
Jose F. Callo Romero
