<p>Hi Todd,<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for your mail. I have some concerns about this campaign: <br>
</p>
<p>- This is the first I've heard of it. Your mail notes that the
campaign will start this week already. As you'll be soliciting
donations from individual members, were the chapters consulted
about this? If so, when?<br>
</p>
<p>- The San Francisco-Bay Area Chapter members get regular emails
asking them to donate to the chapter to support its work. An email
coming in from a different entity asking for support for the same
reasons/activities is going to cause confusion, may incite
accusations of spamming and will interfere with our local
fundraising campaign. <br>
</p>
<p>- In your Q+A document you note ""All donations will support the
broad range of Internet Society programs. Things like training for
the next generation of Internet leaders, expertise and equipment
to build Internet networks in communities that need access, and
smart standards and policy-making so the Internet continues to be
safe, open, and a means of opportunity for people around the
globe.". There's no mention of how the money donated from the
individuals that chapters work so hard to recruit will filter down
to the chapters themselves. <br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards, <br>
</p>
<p>Susannah <br>
</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Next week, The Internet Society
will launch a donation campaign to our Individual Members.
This is the first such campaign in several years. In the
past, ISOC has raised money through sustaining memberships
of individuals, donations, organization memberships and
grants from all around the world. This diversification in
our fundraising helps ISOC to maintain its public charity
status and combine all of these resources together to
support the work for an open, trusted, and global Internet.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As you know, Chapters are central
to our work. Members are encouraged to engage with their
local Chapters, with both time and financial support so that
the great work around the world, at the local level, can
continue to flourish. This campaign is a pilot of our
ability to meet the needs of members who have asked for a
way to complement their advocacy efforts with financial
support to ISOC in general.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

intentions of this upcoming campaign. As is our custom, we
