<div dir="ltr">Gihan,<div><br></div><div>1. there is a large and increasing number of participants in Chapter delegates discussions. We can request from ISOC IT an official count, or each of us run our own. Based just on what I keep on file there's no less than 40 people - in varying degrees - in the last year alone. </div><div><br></div><div>2. there are several ways to measure the decrease of interaction between Board and Chapters, using different metrics. One of them is participation by Trustees in online discussions with Chapter leaders and members. Again for this we can ask for a count of messages from Trustees. There are Chapter-elected Trustees who have not sent out more than 1-2 messages per year while they were/are sitting Trustees. Another easy count is the number of Trustees who attend meetings like the ISOC-in-ICANN and the ISOC Chapters and Delegates meetings (now merged); it is fair to count during those ICANN meetings during which also a Board meeting is held as all Trustees are attending the Board meeting. Can we have access to the official attendee lists? Do we need to make a formal request or can you get it started based on your standing? I - and surely others - volunteer for defining the requests and analyzing the data.</div><div><br></div><div>Alejandro Pisanty</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 10, 2016 at 8:54 PM, Gihan Dias <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gihan@uom.lk" target="_blank">gihan@uom.lk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On 2016-04-11 පෙ.ව. 1:37, Alejandro Pisanty wrote:<br>

if Bob Hinden actually made this remark - I have no reason to doubt it, but was not present when he made it - it is probably time to discuss what is worse, a discussion list that is poorly supported by the Connect system, <br>

I don't recall Bob saying this, but yes - only a small number of chapter leaders are active here.<br>

I would like you to substantiate this serious allegation, especially as you are a former Board member.<br>
