<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Luc,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While watching this topic unfold and begin to be
discussed I have been trying to raise my concern level or excitement level but
have not managed to do much more than hope that the subject can be changed to be
communicated in the form that I've used in this reply having the square brackets
to enclose the proposed name of the subject. This is one way I have used
to reduce my review time for the many thousands of email messages I receive on a
daily basis so that new participants in our ISOC ["..."] discussions, which is
the format most focused subjects are presented, can be identified quickly
so that they do not end up going out with the garbage...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The fact that Chapters are able to nominate and
vote for Board Members should give us more than an advisory role to the Board
because we are already substantial participants on the ISOC Board.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since most of the Board meetings are open to the
public, I do not know what additional information or analysis of the proceeding
we could develop by identifying a particular Chapter member who would view the
public portions of the ISOC Board meetings, write up their perspectives and
interpretations to report back to us and, of course, this would have to be
covered by Chapter or individual funds. Since we already have Board
members for whom we have nominated and voted, do we not trust them to
effectively represent us? Why else would we nominate and vote for such
Board representatives?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this proposal a statement of a Vote of Lack of
Confidence in our present Board member representatives?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do we collectively feel that Chapters deserve more
influence on the Board than Institutional and Individual members?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not usually so vocal about new proposals.
I like to see new ideas be formed, discussed and tested for relevance to our
better use and support of the Internet and the protocols, processes, functions,
policies, and activities that continue to help it grow and better meet the needs
of users all around the world.</FONT></DIV>

with suggestions on a Chapter Liaison to represent chapters at Board meetings.
The idea is to have someone to represent us on the Board while not creating a
big structure like a Chapter Advisory Council which most people thought was
overkill when we discussed the issue on the Chapter delegates list a while
back.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>Bonjour
Anne,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>Here are some ideas
around the Chapter Liaison we discussed :</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>The Chapter Liaison
would be one person chosen by chapters delegates to act as an interface
between the ISOC Board of Trustees and the chapter community. The idea
is to make sure that the chapter perspective is heard at the Board level and
conversely, that relevant Board considerations are routed to
chapters.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>Both ISOC and chapters
could try out the idea for a one-year period and evaluate after that period
if it is worth pursuing.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>The Chapter Liaison
would:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<UL>
<LI><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>attend open Board
meetings,</FONT></SPAN>
<LI><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>both bring chapter
matters to the Board and report back to chapters,</FONT></SPAN>
<LI><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>be responsible to
build consensus on the chapter delegates list on matters to be brought to
the Board,</FONT></SPAN>
<LI><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>by the same token
provide animation -- and hopefully direction -- on the chapter delegates
list,</FONT></SPAN>
<LI><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>be nominated for a
2-year term (to allow him time to get up to speed on Board
matters),</FONT></SPAN>
<LI><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>be someone with
diplomatic skills in order to foster a spirit of collaboration
between the Board and chapters,</FONT></SPAN>
<LI><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>be available to attend
all ISOC Board meetings.</FONT></SPAN></LI></UL>
<DIV><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>The Chapter Liaison
would be a volunteer position. ISOC would pay for travel costs to attend
Board meetings.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=415170415-30012007><FONT face=Arial>I will circulate the
idea to some chapter delegates and get back to you with their
feedback,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
