I fear that in our haste to respond with very short notice to requested quidance on this matter we may have unintentionally crafted an email that was more direct than intended. While I believe the justification of ISOC's position to be sound given our overall plans for this topic I do understand we could have been more considered and graceful in our response. </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Given the high degree of respect and importance we place with our Chapters our policy team looks forward to improved, continuous, and vigorous discussions on privacy and other areas of importance to the internet. We continue to invest in our systems and infrastructure in order to enhance collaboration in a fast-moving and diverse world. We remain confident our existing processes and systems, such as our Chapter working-groups and our Chapter Sphere process, provide an efficient and open environment by which debate, discussion, and rough consensus are built on many issues. I might add as well that we are very pleased with the progress we have made with our new AMS system which in turn will give exceptional improvements in communication. While much has been accomplished there remains plenty yet to do. </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">I want to thank everyone who have contributed feedback on this matter. The feedback has been brisk, dynamic, and intense, which helps create a healthy and spirited collective environment in which to achieve our goals. </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Sincerely, </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Jon </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><b>Jon McNerney</b></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><b>Chief Operating Officer</b></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><b>Internet Society</b></font></p><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><b><br></b></font></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>Chapter-delegates mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Chapter-delegates@elists.isoc.org">Chapter-delegates@elists.isoc.org</a><br>http://elists.isoc.org/mailman/listinfo/chapter-delegates<br></blockquote></div><br></div></div></body></html>
