Internetworking activities Implemented the first link from Japan to CSNET with Prof. Murai in Japan and Prof. Landweber in USA; Coordinating the implementation of the largest campus LAN in Japan at the University of Tokyo (1990-1992) as the Computer Committee Chairman; Coordinating activities for the Japanese Internet, JUNET/WIDE and TRAIN (Tokyo Regional Academic Internet); One of the original developers of N1 network (Japanese University mainframe networks); Introduced UNIX and C into Japan in 1976 Statement of Acceptance Having served as Program Chair for INET'92 held in Kobe, I think the Internet Society (IS) should promote internets internationally through: (1) Publication of online journals. Currently, ISOC publishes only a quarterly newsletter. It is desirable for ISOC to publish a technical journal but this presents a cost problem. I propose that ISOC 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, ISOC 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) Interna- tional internet promotion activities. There are many countries in the world where we need much promotional activities for networking and internetworking. If ISOC 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 ISOC.
