I agree with Joly in that "new Gtlds" should be discussed during the Sunday meeting. Also, and for the amount of emails that I have received it seems to me that lots of chapters (and not chapter individuals) are quite involve in the WCIT already. <div>
<br></div><div>What about a discussion about the current formulation of the future ISOC by-laws? I followed a long email discussion in the delegate list regarding the mostly lack of Chapters recognition in these with no specific conclusions.</div>

<br>
The New gTLD Program is not purely an internal ICANN matter. It impacts the whole Internet Ecosystem and the internet end users as well (more choice or confusion?). In this perspective I think the Internet Society can help Chapters to well understand Challenges and opportunities around New gTLDs as far as ICANN and ISOC work in Synergy.<br>
Your point about Community Grants is very relevant but I can suggest you to reserve it for the bi-annual Chapter survey.<br>
<br>
For me I think, It is important for an ISOC@ICANN meeting to discuss at least one ICANN's topic even just to have an ISOC's view on that topic.<br>
<br>
My choice is for topics #2, #3 and #1.<br>

Dear Jaceck , dear Ted,<br>
In order to focus on WCIT, our chapter have no particular business or activity connected to this ICann meeting.<br>
I doubt that Isoc chapters will have any interest or priority in the second topic (gTld ). witch is purley internal ICANN matter.<br>
Yes , some chapters can act as Icann at large support (we may join as well ) , but in Europe , Romania , our priority is IPV6/DNSSEC for our national .ro CCTLD, rather than discuss informally (without any outcome, since ISOC has no decision power on Gtld policies).<br>
<br>
We pare particularty worried about the insufficient funding for Community grants programme.<br>
As an example, we have had last round a huge demand, (a dozen of project ideas), we selected 3 , dupported by our chapter , and won none , dissapointing not only our members, but also the partner institutions that we confinced to co-finance the projects (focused on Ipv6, Education and Mobility ).<br>
<br>
We would appreciate to focus on real issues (we think community grants is an important one). At least , it will aloow us not to loose existing members (in absence of a consistent growth policy with adequate instruments ).<br>
<br>
As an example , in Romania , the sindication of funds for NGO's among several donors works well, the most succesful one is CEE Civil society TRUST (Soros + Ford + Rockefeller syndicated fund ) :<a href="http://www.ceetrust.org/grants-database/in-country-grants/romania.html" target="_blank">http://www.ceetrust.org/grants-database/in-country-grants/romania.html</a><br>
<br>
In conclusion , our proposal would be to skip point 2 and replace it with : "Community grants syndication" .<br>
Best regards,<br>
Ed<br>

Subiect: Re: [Chapter-delegates] Topics to be discussed during Chapter/Member meeting on 16.10.2012 in Toronto<br>
<br>
Dear Chapter Delegates,<br>
<br>
As mentioned earlier, during the Chapter/Member meeting on 16.10.2012 in Toronto we would like to discuss max. 3 (due to limited time) topics interesting for Chapters world-wide. Following topics have been suggested, within the given deadline:<br>
<br>
1. - Synchronization of Chapter activities on WCIT issues 2. - New gTLD program is it a hit or a miss?<br>
3. - Enabling chapters to be more active on specific topics, aside those prioritized by ISOC global; 4. - What are the priorities of action and focus of the chapters for the next 12 months ?<br>
<br>
We would like you to vote (deadline Friday, 5.10.2012) for the 3 topics out of those 4 suggested above. If you vote for topic #4, please name max. 3 of your Chapter's priorities of action.<br>
<br>
Your choice will allow us to invite relevant Subject Matter Experts to our Toronto meeting.<br>
<br>
Please note, that we are planning to launch our bi-annual Chapter Survey in November 2012, so your input will be used in fine-tuning of Survey.<br>
<br>
With best regards,<br>
<br>
