I am also an individual member of ICANN and therefore received the same =
announcement that Garth shared with the group.
I have already indicated my interest to Glenn and Evan who are involved =
with the group wanting to see a Canadian ISOC chapter.
Given that the group doesn't seem to have any objection I will identify =
myself as a member of TC when I complete the survey.
Is there enough interest in the various regions to have regional =
chapters, not just a national one?

Every Chapter shall have an explicit statement of purpose.
