Position statement for the Internet Society        December 9, 1992

                            Haruhisa Ishida, University of Tokyo

     Having served as Program Chair for INET'92 held in Kobe, I think the
Internet Society (IS) should perform the following tasks to promote
internets internationally.

(1) Publication of online journals
Currently, IS publishes only  a quarterly newsletter. It is desirable for IS to publish a technical journal but, obviously it would be difficult for IS for the
time being. So I like to propose for IS to issue two online journals, one for
refereed papers and another for freely-submitted papers, and store them in an
anonymous ftp system to be maintained by IS. Since papers would contain
figures and photographs, IS should lead the standardization and use of
multimedia document transmission formats.

(2) Formation of international chapters
Inviting participants from developing countries is becoming an INET-conference
tradition. This requires funding not only from each INET host country but also 
from other countries. Thus it is desirable to establish a local/national
chapter in each region/country to increase membership and raise funds.

(3) International internet promotion activities
There are many countries in the world where we need much promotional activities
for networking and internetworking. If IS can make and publish a list of
volunteer lecturers (and preferably their overseas travel schedules), for
example, many groups will be able to invite such experts to their
activities. There can be many other activities under the umbrella of IS.
