Dear Ted,<br>
<br>
thanks for the note. I do however have two questions:<br>
<br>
- 4 x staff<br>
- 2 x org membership<br>
- 2 x chapters<br>
- 1 x secretary<br>
<br>
Q1. how are sustaining members that are not members of a chapter
represented?<br>
Q2. at what level of transparency will the WG operate? Will the
mailing list archives be open for consultation? Call transcripts? <br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

<div>At the last meeting of the Board of Trustees a motion was
passed to facilitate a speedy resolution to the process of
updating the Internet Society By-laws. The Board authorized the
formation of a By-laws Working Group (BLWG), led by staff and
comprised the organization member and chapter representatives.
I have copied the Terms of Reference for the BLWG below so
that all may understand the charter and timelines for completing
their tasks. Please feel free to contact any of the working
group members with questions or comments.</div>

Working Group:
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family:
'Cambria'">The primary purpose of the By-Laws
Working Group (the “Working Group”) is to
make recommendations to the Internet Society
Board of Trustees (the “Board”)
regarding proposed amendments to ISOC’s by-laws.
This will be done taking into
account consultations with the Internet
community -- the Organization Members
and the Chapters of the Internet Society, and
relying on generally accepted best
practices for by-laws and governing laws
applicable to the Internet Society. The
Working Group will serve to facilitate the
activities of the Internet Society’s Board,
but will not take any action reserved to the
Board or its Standing Committees.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt; font-family:
'Cambria'">The efforts of the BLWG should build
upon the prior work of the ISOC Board’s By-
Laws Committee and the Board of Trustees,
focusing on the remaining open issues
including any root issues, and resolution
options. The Working Group will seek to
make recommendations to the Board on those
topics. To accomplish this in a timely
manner, the BLWG will:</span> <img
