On these points, I echo Veni's concerns.<div><br></div><div>joly<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 7, 2010 at 7:28 PM, Veni Markovski <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:veni@veni.com">veni@veni.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Some items:<br><br>
- on page 5, you say "The Internet Society's Regional Bureaus are
at the core of our ability to scale our efforts and impact." As a
chapter chairman, and as someone being elected by chapters to the
BoT, I would argue that the chapters are "at the core of our
ability to scale our efforts and (<b>especially!</b>) impact".
Please, fix.<br>
- in the plan for what the bureaus will do, I don't see enough
place, allocated for their cooperation and collaboration with the
chapters. Please, fix.<br>
- on page 6, for example, talking about the bureaus, you say that
"they will fulfil their responsibilities working closely and
collaboratively with members, local partners and of course, all
ISOC staff." Not a word about the chapters. Please, fix.<br>
These fixes should not be just edits in the text. They should be
supported by concrete tasks, given to bureaus, to engage with
chapters.<br>
<br>
- On page 7, we see that revenue performance for the current year
is below 2009, but I see that there's a goal for increased level
for 2011. Would it be possible to see the table from 2009, and see
what was the prognosis for increased revenues for ISOC in 2010?
Were the expectations that revenue would go down? If no, could you
tell us why the sudden drop?<br>
<br>
- On page 8, we see that you have planned aggressive campaign to
have more individual members. What's this campaign? I don't
remember being contacted on it, and yet I'd expect that chapters
are the natural connection points for such an effort. If I have
missed it, it's my fault, so, please, ignore this remark. If I
haven't missed it, but there has not been such a communication,
please, explain what's the role of the chapters, and how you plan
to support our activities, in order to attract new members?<br>
<br>
- On page 8, point 2 - you are talking about regional and national
stakeholders, but not about chapters. Please, fix.<br><br></font></div></blockquote></div>-- <br>---------------------------------------------------------------<br>Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast<br>WWWhatsup NYC - <a href="http://wwwhatsup.com">http://wwwhatsup.com</a><br>
