<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Greg,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">per my email, a response from the Board to the *<b>contents</b>* of the advice is coming soon. We are putting it together as we speak. Keep tuned!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With respect to wanting more engagement from the Chapter and orgs communities, that is something The Board has discussed with every single ChAC and OMAC chair during the last 3 or 4 years (you can find discussions about that in the ChAC
and OMAC presentations in several past Board meetings). So, to be clear, that is not specific to this particular advice. I know all those ChAC and OMAC chairs have worked (and continue working) hard to achieve that and am also sure everyone in the ISOC community
obviously sees more community engagement as a very good thing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Gonzalo and all,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I'd like to add a few observations. Overall, it was a little off-putting to find that most of your response seemed aimed at discounting the advice and the level of support it enjoyed -- particularly
given the major themes of the advice itself. I understand these are trying times, and that you may not have actually read the advice at that time, but it did not strike me as quite the spirit in which such advice should be acknowledged. I hope you will
accept this email in the constructive manner in which it is offered.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">First, with regard to preparing the draft advice: it should be noted that the drafting team's work went first to the <u>ChAC Steering Committee</u> which sent it back with comments. This further
step in development and engagement should not be overlooked.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">With regard to the decisional steps, ChAC rules and procedures state: "Decisions shall normally be taken by consensus (meaning lack of formal opposition). If consensus cannot be achieved, then
the Chair of the AC Steering Committee shall organize a vote. In case of voting, decisions shall be taken by a majority vote of the delegates to the AC. The quorum shall be nineteen (19) delegates<b><span style="color:#0B1C2D;background:#F2F2F2">."</span></b></span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The consensus call sent to the ChAC said: "<span style="color:black">Please let us know if you object to any individual advice or all of the advice and provide the reasoning for the objection."
This is consistent with the the definition of consensus as <u>lack of formal opposition.</u> This is simply not a system designed to count supporters. It should not be used as such -- particularly not to claim that the the result of the consensus call indicated
an 80-85% lack of engagement. </span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">Given the attributes of this system, the number of positive responses is simply not particularly meaningful. If you want a system that expressly enumerates positive support, this
isn't it. In this system, support arises from <u>lack of opposition</u>. Consider that 3-4 SC members and 4 drafting team members did not respond to the consensus call. Should this be understood to mean they did not engage, did not participate in the discussion
and did form an opinion on the advice? Clearly not. It should be understood to mean they understand the system, which is that those who support the advice <u>did not have to respond</u>.
</span><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Similarly, no conclusion can be reached about others who did not formally weigh in. Given the system, the presumption must be that they were part of the consensus, and not part of the group
who told you they somehow missed the entire discussion.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">It is also notable that <i>the consensus call email thread contains more emails (44) than any other ChAC thread in the last three years, by a wide margin</i>. With regard to the
claim of 80-85% non-participation: there were roughly 25 positive responses, out of 98 ChAC reps (better than 25% affirmative support). If you add in SC and DT members who did not respond, active support rises to roughly 1/3 of the total ChAC -- a substantial
number in a system predicated on objections or the lack of objections, rather than affirmative support. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">This does not mean I'm entirely satisfied with the level of expressive participation. More active engagement and discussion would have been great. And consistently greater engagement
is a laudable goal. But the level of affirmative responses should not be turned into a measure of engagement.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The key takeaway from all of this should be that consensus was achieved and reported. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The use of the term "unanimous" was substantively meaningless. While it may have been loose talk, it strikes me as a bit harsh to call it "unfortunately inappropriate."</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Finally, your disappointment that we "decided not to include any information that was made available after February 10th, including the recently announced PIC" misses the mark. This was a
necessity so we could issue any advice at all in a timely manner. This advice had been worked on for weeks and was at the end of the consensus call when the PICs were announced. Pulling back the advice and considering the PICs would have required more drafting
and another consensus call. In a rapidly changing atmosphere, this approach can result in no advice at all. Much of the advice addressed issues beyond those to which the PICS applied. It was judged better to put the advice out so that it would be part of
the record and the conversation, while making it clear that it could be revised based on further developments.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

procedure for obtaining approval, unless there was a call for a formal vote. There was no call for a vote in this instance.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">thanks for putting together the three documents with advice to the Board. The Board will discuss them and get back to you in order to continue the dialog.<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In addition, as you know, we have been working for several years with you and the previous ChAC chairs to find ways for us to engage the community more effectively. Unfortunately, that still seems to be a challenge. Per the thread below,
where you seem to have discussed this advice, around 80 to 85% of our 124 chapters did not participate in the discussions or express any opinion on the advice at all:<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">With the above in mind, it is unfortunately inappropriate to say that this advice was approved by *unanimous* consensus since most of the community did not even participate in the discussions (after receiving your advice, several people
from different chapters indeed told me they had actually not noticed the discussions on the advice at all). Therefore, I am cc'ing the 'Chapter Delegates' mailing list on this email so that as many people as possible from our community are aware of these advice
and our upcoming response.<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have also noticed that you decided not to include any information that was made available after February 10th, including the recently announced PIC.
