It is how we will focus and organize our work</p><p class=MsoNormal>through 2019 and beyond.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please read and share the plan:</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>https://www.internetsociety.org/action-plan/2019/</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This 2019 Action Plan builds on what we did in 2018 and applies the</p><p class=MsoNormal>lessons we learned. First, this plan makes a distinction between what</p><p class=MsoNormal>we do and how we do it. Second, it refines the campaign-led approach,</p><p class=MsoNormal>which helped break down internal barriers, by defining the criteria</p><p class=MsoNormal>for success or completion. Finally, this plan contemplates some</p><p class=MsoNormal>changes to the organization of the Internet Society to address</p><p class=MsoNormal>functional gaps that became clear in 2018.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We believe an open, globally-connected, secure, and trustworthy</p><p class=MsoNormal>Internet makes a positive difference in the lives of people</p><p class=MsoNormal>everywhere. More than 3.5 billion people around the world enjoy the</p><p class=MsoNormal>benefits of the Internet, but a nearly equal number remain</p><p class=MsoNormal>unconnected. Our work is to connect the unconnected to bring people</p><p class=MsoNormal>opportunity and to develop human potential. At the same time, we must</p><p class=MsoNormal>ensure that the Internet to which they connect is a network they can</p><p class=MsoNormal>trust and where their activity is secure. This plan serves as our</p><p class=MsoNormal>roadmap for our work in the year ahead to close this gap between the</p><p class=MsoNormal>world of today and our vision for the future.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>As you will read in the plan, part of that roadmap involves the</p><p class=MsoNormal>planned launch of the Internet Society Foundation during the first</p><p class=MsoNormal>quarter of 2019. This represents an exciting new opportunity for the</p><p class=MsoNormal>Internet Society. It will enable us to further our mission and expand</p><p class=MsoNormal>our community and our impact around the world. We will share more</p><p class=MsoNormal>detailed information on the Foundation in the coming months</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>With our vision of the Internet under threat, we have a great amount</p><p class=MsoNormal>of work to do. There are many forces challenging our view of the</p><p class=MsoNormal>future of the Internet. I ask you to read this plan, share it with</p><p class=MsoNormal>others, and join with me and the rest of the Internet Society</p><p class=MsoNormal>community to take action to shape the future of the Internet.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards,</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Andrew</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>--</p><p class=MsoNormal>Andrew Sullivan</p><p class=MsoNormal>President & CEO, Internet Society</p><p class=MsoNormal>sullivan@isoc.org</p><p class=MsoNormal>+1 517 885 3587</p><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________</p><p class=MsoNormal>As an Internet Society Chapter Officer you are automatically subscribed</p><p class=MsoNormal>to this list, which is regularly synchronized with the Internet Society</p><p class=MsoNormal>Chapter Portal (AMS): https://portal.isoc.org</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
