      I am not sure Bob has said it - Ed says "my own words here". <br>
      However, if his observations are who are the active writers on
      this list - that's another question. <br>
      Perhaps ISOC Chapter support (copied here) could provide us with
      the normal statistics that we have seen on other lists - e.g. how
      many emails per month, etc.? <br>
      In general, the ISOC chapters are active and passive participants
      in the lists. That's quite normal. People have jobs, we are not 20
      years ago, when email was the primary form of communication (for
      that matter, perhaps using Facebook as a way of engaging chapters
      and chapters' leaders may be an alternative, too, instead of
      ISOC's own form of social network). <br>
      <br>
      But, if he has said it, then it's different. <br>
      <br>
      Perhaps Bob could tell us?<br>

                          You may hit a wall here if you get elected to
                          the BOT. In yesterday's<br>
                          meeting, Mr. Hinden implied that he does not
                          trust the mailing list to be a<br>
                          good barometer of ISOC chapters and issues (my
                          own words here) mainly<br>
                          because the people using it are the same
                          people all the time. However, he<br>
                          will trust that the voice of all the chapters
                          will come through the<br>
                          Advisory Board (AB). I suggest to give the AB
                          all the resources they need<br>
                          to become very effective in bringing chapter
                          issues and then help the<br>
                          chapters by working with other BOT members in
                          resolving them.<br>
