<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi, guys.<br>
I guess you have received similar letters? <br>
<br>
I already emailed Joyce that there are some issues with the
requirements, mainly in the responsibility of the chapters ;-)<br>
Seems like ISOC is not concerned too much about the EU personal
data protection, or the fact that may be in some chapters you
cannot be a member of the global ISOC, or that in some cases the
elections of the Board may not take place every year, or every two
years; or that the number of terms may not be limited; or that
filing updates with ISOC may mean extra weight on the chapters to
produce the documents from the General Assembly in English; or
that sharing information with the ISOC staff may not be
appropriate; or that promoting ISOC strategic positions could be
considered very inappropriate (what? considering the position of a
US-based non-profit???). <br>
<br>
Further than that, they are telling us that if do not meet "one or
more" of the "minimum standards", a process of "rejuvenation" will
be initiated. <br>
<br>
Somehow I miss all these in the ISOC by-laws, but may be someone
can enlightern us?<br>
<br>
thanks, and have a great Sunday!<br>

Chapter Officers,</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica;min-height:17px"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica">As
previously announced and in accordance with article IV of
the updated Bylaws of the Internet Society on 22 July
2013, I am pleased to send you the updated Chapter Charter
letter for your Chapter, including the chapter minimum
standards as well as the outline of the support to be
expected from the Internet Society. </p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica">This letter
reconfirms that the Chapter is chartered and approved as a
Chapter of the Internet Society.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica;min-height:17px"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica">These
mutual standards were developed in collaboration and
consultation with the Chapters over the past couple of
years prior to the Internet Society Board of Trustees
review. Their implementation was placed on hold until
passage of the updated By-laws so that we could be certain
that they were conform with the amended and restated
By-laws. The performance standards herein reflect both the
letter and the spirit of the updated By-laws.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica;min-height:17px"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica">I would
