“The year 2007 was one of ongoing growth and continued strengthening of ISOC. Building on sound financial health and a long-term plan, we succeeded in attracting substantial talent from all over the world, proceeded with our well-known activities and programmes, and prepared a number of long-term strategic initiatives.
I’m particularly glad we made significant progress in fulfilling the potential of ISOC as a truly global organization: we have started to establish regional bureaus and to build strong support for Chapters. This way we can better support local work that furthers the goals of ISOC.
We have continued to support the work of the Internet Engineering Task Force, to play a pivotal role in what has come to be known as Internet Governance, to support regional meetings of networkers, and to promote ISOC’s goals wherever they would be most effective. You can read about all of our activities and achievements in the pages of this report.
The year 2008 will bring new challenges. One of them will be to promote the adoption of IPv6 in order to maintain the growth needed to advance and extend the Internet. ISOC is ready to do its part in meeting that challenge as well as other challenges before us.”
