The ChAC Steering Committee has reviewed "A proposal

it to the Chapter Council<br>
for approval.<br>

<br>
At this point I would like to open discussion on
this proposal for the<br>
next week - until 8/27 1200 UTC. At that point I
will initiate a<br>
consensus call on the document, including any
changes that may be<br>
warranted as part of the discussion. This consensus
call will also be<br>
scheduled for 1 week. Should the document not meet
with consensus, I<br>
will then request that we continue discussion on it
and will bring it to<br>
a vote.<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>

*A proposal for greater involvement of Chapters in
the position and<br>
policy brief development process*<br>
<br>
*Background*<br>
<br>
In the past, there have been occasions when ISOC
staff met with national<br>
policy makers without involving the national chapter
in any way. Since<br>
national chapters often have good relations with
national officials, it<br>
would be preferable if the chapters are also
involved in meetings with<br>
national officials. We propose a recommendation
below to that effect.<br>
<br>
At present, there does not seem to be a consistent
practice within ISOC<br>
regarding the role of the membership in the policy
development<br>
process and the preparation of background and
position papers that ISOC<br>
puts forward. Specifically, some policy papers are
submitted to the<br>
membership for comment, specifically the policy
briefs, while others<br>
papers, such as position papers, are not. In one
case, the membership<br>
was not informed of a specific submission. It
appears to us that<br>
systematic consultation with the membership can only
improve the quality<br>
of a policy, background paper, or position paper.
The intent is not to<br>
change ISOC's current decision-making process for
such papers: staff<br>
would remain fully responsible for the final version
of the paper. The<br>
intent is to allow staff to benefit systematically
from the views of the<br>
membership, and to decide whether or how to
incorporate comments from<br>
the membership. We propose a recommendation below to
that effect.<br>
<br>
<br>
*Recommendations*<br>
<br>
Review with the relevant chapters, policy positions
and alliances before<br>
they are made, and inform them of meetings with
national policy<br>
makers, unless time constraints do not permit it. We
have active mailing<br>
lists that can make it quick and easy.<br>
<br>
In general, policy, background and position papers,
including policy<br>
briefs should be submitted to the membership for
comment prior to<br>
publication, with the understanding that staff
retains full ownership<br>
for the final version. Staff can choose the most
appropriate method to<br>
consult the membership, for example by asking for
volunteers to review<br>
drafts, by posting a draft for comment to a mailing
list, by convening a<br>
virtual meeting to discuss the issues, etc.<br>
<br>
Further, when papers are published and/or submitted
to some entity<br>
outside ISOC, the membership should be informed and
a link to the paper<br>
should be sent to the appropriate mailing list and
to the Chapter<br>
Delegate's mailing list just prior to the
publication or submission.<br>
<br>
<br>
