<div dir="ltr">Done.<div><br></div><div>FWIW, here is my input to the last question on the survey:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:bold;line-height:22px">Q6: To help us plan future Internet Society (ISOC) meetings alongside ICANN, do you have any additional comments or suggestions for improvements to the content or format of these meetings? </span><br>
</div><div><br></div><div><div>I still believe that a return to a two-meeting format is beneficial, because there are two separate components of ISOC member meetings that really need to be handled differently:</div><div>
<br>
</div><div>1) Policy: A status report on ISOC's current global policy initiatives, and engagement by all members (chapters, trustees, individuals, corporate participants) on the hot topic of the day. This should be a formal workshop event with presentations and moderated discussion.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) Chapter capacity building: An informal engagement between chapters at both a social level and one that discusses best practises for outreach, local policy development, internal governance, etc. This should be much more informal, perhaps in the form of a number of simultaneous BOF (birds-of-a-feather) sessions. In fact, an "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference">unconference</a>", such as those done at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp">BarCamps</a>, might be a preferred format. I am happy to assist if there is interest in such a format.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If there is an insistence on only one session I would prefer the Capacity Building one. While face-to-face contact is preferred, a Policy workshop could be done as a webinar more easily than an unconference.</div>
