New Internet Society Logo

In 2016 the Internet Society launched a nelfgdgfdw logo, which is visible at the top of https://www.internetsociety.org/ The logo now on this Wikipedia page is no longer accurate. I can provide a new logo as I work for the Internet Society Communications team. However because of that affiliation I am hesitant to update the page directly. Does anyone object if I make that change? Dyork (talk) 15:12, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Internet Society and ISOC

I have never seen the Internet Society referred to as "the ISOC". ISOC is, I think, "not quite an acronym". --Alvestrand (talk) 06:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right. I guess it's the official abbreviation. Wwwhatsup (talk) 07:12, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymity

I'm just curious about the Internet Society's stance on user anonymity on the internet.

It is my opinion that an alias can allow us to share feelings we have without trying to conform to society's expectation of us. Furthermore, without anonymity, the internet would offer nothing new. Schalos (talk) 20:18, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yet with anonymity comes all kinds of problems, people hiding behind false identities, and the general believe that nothing which happens on the internet matters. When you remove your identity, the notion follows, you are immune to anything and everything. Which is largely a myth perpetuated by the idea that most people are either too lazy to care or don't know how to find out someone's identity.--68.6.182.39 (talk) 22:00, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

External Links

Can we get a consensus to remove the external links to the chapters? There is a tag on that section, but before I remove what looks like a lot of hard work, I want to make certain that it is appropriate, and that I am interpreting Wikipedia's external link policy correctly.

New NEWS today, for future editing

Is this the proper Wikipedia article for this discussion?

Headline-1: GOP cannot give in to Obama's 'great Internet giveaway'

QUOTE: "The government's job is simple: to protect freedom and promote free markets. And the Republican Party — which currently controls both chambers of the U.S. Congress — bills itself as the party of individual responsibility and economic growth" -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 00:14, 23 June 2015 (UTC) -- PS: FYI for future editing.[reply]

training and IPv6 .. only issues?

. . .

This page reads rather ... public relationsish.

For example, the only references I can find on this Wikipedia page under "issues" relate to training and IPv6 implementation. There is a lack of other major events in ISOC history that would seem fairly essential to reader understanding of where the society fits into global internet governance.

Here's a few more issues here.
