It sounds strange that the org members need Addiitional people, and the chapters don't get any. Yet the org members have already 6 trustees, right? <span></span><br><br>On Monday, October 22, 2012, Norbert Klein wrote:<br>

Good evening:<br>

With reference to the report from Eric Burger to today's Board of Trustees meeting, at:<br>

I am very pleased that Avri Doria and Bill Smith have been invited to join the Bylaws Committee as representatives of the Organisational Members, but may I suggest that in the interests of a balanced and open discussion that two representatives of the Chapters - other than Trustees - also be invited to join the Bylaws Committee, pending the completion of its work during the coming months.<br>
<br>
Since the Board of Trustees is presently in session in Toronto, I would be grateful if this suggestions be brought to their attention.<br>
<br>
With many thanks and regards<br>

Thanks, Christopher,<br>
<br>
for raising these questions. I surely appreciate it very much that Avri Doria - whom I know since many years of good cooperation in ICANN - has been invited as a representative of Organizational Members.<br>
<br>
Considering the long and intensive statements from Chapters in the past discussion about the nature of "ISOC" either as "an entity which can enter into agreements with Chapters" or "ISOC an organization made up of Members organized in Chapters" - and a lot of variables in between to be clarified - I am also surprised that there is - so far - not a more structured participation of Chapters in this process.<br>
