<p>I just got one email from the Chapter delegates list on Connect

it wasn't all about processes. The
creation of a chapter in Canada was
originally started after the 1997 INET
meeting in Montreal, but was cancelled
because of an inability to reach
agreement on revenue/solicitation
sharing between HQ and Chapters (this
was before the PIR windfall). As a
result, there was no Canada chapter
until a reboot effort started a few
years ago. Some of the people involved
in that original effort are on the
Canada Chapter board now so they know

the fundraising model used by American
public broadcasting. Consider that PBS
doesn't do any membership or individual
fundraising campaigns without the close
collaboration of WETA, its local partner
in Washington. Having parallel national
and local campaigns could be a disaster.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

best, this is a missed opportunity to
let the Chapters Advisory Council
fulfill its Bylaw role as an integral
part of the ISOC decision-making
process. ISOC can't be a trusted
advocate for multi-stakeholder
approaches to Internet governance when
it ignores its own internal
multi-stakeholder structures. There is
a further missed opportunity in that
shutting Chapters out of the campaign
architecture reduces the potential for
a network of local champions once the
donation campaigns are launched.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
