organization founded in 1992 to provide leadership in Internet related
standards, education and policy. With offices in Washington, DC, and Geneva,
Switzerland, as well as regional bureaus located throughout the world, it is
dedicated to ensuring the open development, evolution, and use of the Internet
for the benefit of people globally. ISOC is also the organizational home of the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and other Internet-related bodies who
together play a critical role in ensuring that the Internet develops in a
stable and open manner. ISOC has more than 150 organizational members, over 100
chapters and more than 65,000 individual members that play a role in driving the
mission and work of the organization. ISOC currently has an operational budget
