<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Thanks, Karen.<br>
Immediately need to say, as I know that some folks are sensitive,
and my English is not so - I appreciate and highly value all of
the ISOC staffers, who are instrumental in what ISOC does. <br>
<br>
However, I see no special need for us - chapter delegates - to
promote the survey, as it was sent to all 65000 members already. I
am sure that among them there are people, who have joined ISOC
recently, and are not aware of the fact that such exercises have
been part of ISOC for the last 10 years. I wouldn't be surprised,
if some might remember of similar campaigns and discussions, e.g.
ISOC 2010, ISOC 2015, and now ISOC 2020. <br>
<br>
It is a little bit strange that ISOC as an organization is
spending huge resources trying to set up the strategy towards 2020
in the time, when Lynn is leaving. It seems that you are not
interested in hearing what new views and ideas the candidates for
President/CEO would have, as they will inevitably be limited in
responding to all questions, "We will do whatever it says in the
Strategy". <br>
<br>
Best, <br>
Veni <br>

Hi Veni -
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for your views. We are fortunate that there are a
lot of people in the ISOC community, including on this list,
with a wide range of interests and view points.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We do hope to hear from Chapters and Members as part of the
strategic planning process, which has also been thoughtfully
considered and guided by our Trustees. Community outreach and
input is an important part of the work, and we look forward to
hearing from the community, including and especially our
Chapters and Members. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And in this regard, I hope you will extend the opportunity
and encourage participation from the Bulgarian Chapter and its
members. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We recognise that there is a lot of interest and importance
post-WCIT and on the upcoming WTPF, and we are actively working
on those issues as well. It is also important to ensure that we
are also working towards a longer term view of the organisations
work and the challenges that the Internet will face, while
actively progressing current issues.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks again for contributing your views to the list. Also,
please do consider including them and your other thoughts on the
webpage at:</div>
