3. A Canadian ISOC Chapter?

Gareth have agreed to support the individual on the West Coast who is =
particularly interested in this issue.
There was much discussion about how TC could be most effective in the =

organizations such as ISOC and iCanada.

CIRA is promoting the establishment of Transit Exchanges to help keep =
Canadian Internet traffic in Canada. TC would like to support this =
initiative and there was discussion about the difference between CIRA's =

BCNet.

to continue in their areas, Our contact in PEI is trying to find a way =
to continue with their sites and the BC Government has been approached =
with no success.
