<br>
I am glad to see this initiative, and hope to see a stronger, more
vibrant ISoc through it.<br>
However I would like to have seen more input from chapters in not
only formulating but also carrying out this program.<br>
<br>
Also, we may see some unconscious biases showing. e.g.,<br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><span
id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION" style="font-size: 14px; "><span
id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION">| 1. Establishing an office of
Regional Engagement* at the executive level; </span></span><br>
</font></big><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION" style="font-size:
14px; "><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><span style="font-family:
'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; "><big><font face="Times New
Roman, Times, serif">This implies that the "center" (US?)
is the heart of ISoc, and needs to "engage" with regions.<br>
<br>
I hope you will take these comments constructively.<br>
<br>
However, you have my, and our chapter's full support in
this endeavor.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
