Over the past couple years I have been interested in starting a Canadian and/or an Ontario Chapter of the Internet Society.
The Internet Society is an international, non-profit organization devoted to making the "Internet for everyone". They do this through chapter work promoting standards (e.g. IPV6), facilitating global access particularly in developing countries, advising and arguing for policy that supports the open nature of the Internet, and other related work.
Currently, the Internet Society is reaching out to Canadians to help organize a national chapter and/or provincial chapters - currently there is only a Quebec chapter.
If you are interested in helping start any of these chapters Internet Society, you can start by becoming a member. It's free and quick to do.
The Internet Society also has a short survey that they are asking interested Canadians to fill out as expressions of interest.
Please consider joining and filling out the short survey before Dec 16, 2012 to help get chapters here.
