Thanks Bishakha for sharing this, I wasn't aware of this.
I am thinking about it since quite a while and I guess the community here could help me to get an opinion on it: Wouldn't it be sensible for Wikimedia Chapters to become members of their local ISOC chapters? ISOC has chapters in many countries and a similar structure like Wikimedia, with geographical chapter organisation (well, there is ISOC Belgium + ISOC Wallonia...) and I think the ISOC would be a good entry into engaging in internet governance.
Are there any chapters which are ISOC members? I only heard once about WMIL cooperating with ISOC IL so far.
