Yesterday we had the General Assembly oft EURALO, the regional at-large organisation where I represent Wikimedia CH and Wikimedia Österreich AS members of ICANN At-Large. I will serve another term von the EURALO board. We had a very interesting visit from ICANN's new president and CEO Fahdi Chehade. With its multi-stakeholder approach and also developed and grown based in external needs and in ever-changing environment it faces similar challenges like the Wikimedia movement. This was a surprising understanding for me, having experienced ICANN as a big, bureaucratic organisation. I am aiming toward an exchange, being aware that is still hard to be heard within ICANN but without our critical and demanding voices we give away our ability to influence policy making on the Internet.

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.

Frieda gave a talk at the Italian IGF in 2009, then I think they lost momentum (or we did?). http://www.igf-italia.it/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=106&Itemid=76
