<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Courier New;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">
Walda,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>thanks for this message.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think that most of the issues we have been discussing have been dealt with in one or another way, with varying degrees of success (from the stellar to the dismal, and also dependent on who is doing the grading.) As Veni said, there's little that we haven't
gone over several times, though happily now with new participants.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The *one* true innovation in the landscape is the possibility in the Bylaws to create a Chapter Advisory Council. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Previous attempts have failed and I am among those who have had serious doubts about the concept. We should test it now. We know afresh much of what the Council should be able to do and what is out of its scope. Let's get on to it. I'm in if I can be considered
useful.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yours,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Alejandro Pisanty<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">To Chapter Delegates,</span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Recently there has been a strong and useful discussion regarding the nature of chapters, funding of chapters and administrative support for chapters, among other broader
themes. I would like to help bring some clarity to these issues for everyone.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span></p>
</div>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The ISOC Board of Trustees recently adopted an updated set of by-laws that specifically affirmed the role of chapters in the governance and mission of the Internet
Society, explicitly acknowledged the right of Chapters to form an advisory group, and increased the number of Trustees to be elected by Chapters. This was a meaningful and far-reaching show of resolve for the key role of Chapters within the Internet Society.</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Chapters, as stated in the by-laws, are autonomous groups of ISOC members formed explicitly for the collaboration, promotion and execution of the mission of the
Internet Society. This autonomy comes with both rights and responsibilities, including a high degree of self-determination and cause-based organization management. </span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The funding of the Internet Society staff, projects and tools with proceeds from the Public Interest Registry was determined by the Trustees in 2007 and has been
reconfirmed through a disciplined and transparent annual budget development and review process by the Board. A growing portion of these funds has been apportioned for the exclusive support of ISOC Chapters. This includes support staff, travel and event funding,
tools development and deployment, and capacity development.</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">There continue to be unmet needs of chapters with respect to day-to-day management, among which tasks include member and financial administration, member communications,
press relations and outreach, though few chapters experience these gaps in equal measure.</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Chapter input into strategy, policy and project development is valuable and valued at all levels – global, regional and local. IPv6, DNSSec, ITE/IXP, and policy
related to governance, technology and international regulation, as well as greater visibility and understanding for the IETF and the open standards process, are on-going examples of very successful chapter collaboration with ISOC staff. We recognize that additional
ways to take advantage of this collaboration are needed. A number are under development and are being rolled out for Chapter use.</span></li></ol>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">To comply with the intent of the updated by-laws as well as with the Board of Trustees’ support for strong and engaged chapters, Chapter Development Staff have embarked
upon three key projects with direct Chapter involvement and leadership:</span></p>
</div>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Administrative support – Through a recently convened working group of chapters, suggestions for how best to address issues by the chapters are being discussed.
Guidelines and proposals leading to deployable solutions will be developed and shared with the full Chapter community. While we all know that no one solution will fit all chapter needs, we hope that we will be able to further help chapters address a number
of key challenges.</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Collaboration with Chapter leaders in formation of a Chapter Advisory Group. Note that monthly regional chapter webinars are now the norm.</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The sourcing and deployment of a web-based platform for deep and flexible engagement involving a variety of levels, topics and methods.</span></li></ul>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The ISOC Board of Trustees is also committed to the regionalization of our organization, which means the development of more resources in the regions themselves, and hence
greater local and regional collaboration with chapters. This priority on effective regionalization is fueled by the understanding of the individual character and priorities of each region, and by the ability of regionally-based staff and members working
together to best understand and address them.<span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">When we speak of the growth of The Internet Society we should be sure to include that there are now 99 chapters around the world. This has been a rapid development that
should please all members. Staff is dedicated to providing support that has real impact on chapter effectiveness, including operational and management efficiency. We hope that we can all pause to appreciate this success, the issues it has brought forth and
the collaborative spirit it takes to improve our impact for the Sustainable and Open Internet.</span></p>
