strategic requirements of the Internet Society and serious
analysis of the views offered by its members and Chapters,
the Board of Trustees (BoT) has asked the By-Laws Working
Group to share the Board’s recommended revisions with the
community for a final review. The purpose of this review is
to ensure that these changes are clear and understood before
the Board votes on their adoption rather than to entertain
at this time additional substantive changes. These
recommendations include a number of important updates. Some
notable ones are:<o:p></o:p></p>

documents. The BLWG has prepared two documents for ease of
review, one which shows the full text and where there are
revisions; the other is a call-out of key issues raised by
the ISOC community. These documents will be presented to
the Trustees on July 8, 2013 for the Board’s review and for
iproposed adoption of the revised By-Laws at the July 22
meeting of the Board of Trustees.<o:p></o:p></p>

the product of nearly two years of community consultations
and careful consideration and debate by the Trustees. The
period for substantive comment closed in January of this
year and all comments were thoroughly reviewed by the Board
. In this final community review, the BLWG is open to
comments only regarding clarity of meaning and language. We
will reflect key the views on clarification <i>received by
Wednesday, July 3</i> in our July 8 report to the BoT.<o:p></o:p></p>
