Nevertheless if more discussion and seeding of ideas is not what you would like at this point, what advise to do you have for Chapter Support?</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Ted</div><div><br></div><div><div><div apple-content-edited="true">

I am not so supportive of the discussion. <br>
Every once in a while there's a discussion on that topic, and every
once in a while there are some great ideas, which are being shelved
"for consideration" by staff. <br>
And nothing happens. <br>
We discuss, over and over, and over - the same issues. More or less
since 2002, by the way. At least that's what I remember, when
several of us, ISOC Trustees, discussed that in Minneapolis at a
Board meeting.<br>

I support Eric's call for a the views and discussion on this list.
While it will surprise no one to say that nothing will be done
quickly, I would like to work with Chapter leaders to develop a
long term support plan for the Internet Society that takes these
needs and ideas into consideration, indeed as a foundation. I'm
making no commitment that once a plan is developed it will be
fully implemented. Such a decision is at the highest levels.
However, without a proposal that is complete and well
thought-out, the likely outcome is quite diminished. So I am
collecting these ideas for the moment and will discuss
alternatives for moving forward with ISOC Execs.
