 Reply-To: president <at> isoc-ny.org

 Please forward as appropriate - thanks!

 The new North American Regional Director of the Internet Society, Paul 
 Brigner, will meet with the NY Chapter on Tuesday, April 3rd. The former 
 CTO of the Motion Picture Association of the America (MPAA) has been the 
 subject of some controversy because many policy positions of the 
 Internet Society are quite different than those of the MPAA.

 This will be an opportunity to talk to Paul about his views as well as 
 ways in which the global organization can build better working 
 relationships with its Chapters.

 Questions can be submitted in advance to Paul by emailing ISOC-NY 
 President David Solomonoff at president <at> isoc-ny.org

 Date: Tuesday, April 3rd, 7-9 pm

 Location: Amtrak ClubAcela conference room at Penn Station, West 31st 
 and 8th Avenue
