<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">George, thank you for your
note.<br>
At ISOC Bulgaria we find these issues of great concern for the
good of the global ISOC. <br>
Diversity, bringing young people, finding common areas of
interest, etc. are challenging for our chapter, as well. <br>
ISOC, however, serves as an example not only to the current
chapters, but to its global members (not affiliated with chapters
as well), and it needs to put more efforts. <br>
<br>
I am hopeful that the Governance WG you mention might take these
challenges at heart, and come with ideas and solutions. If you
need input from chapters, just ask!<br>

<div class="">I think that this has been a useful discussion, and
I hope that it does not stop here. As the Internet has expanded
to connect more and more users in more countries, it becomes
increasingly important for voices from those new parts of the
world to be heard in the institutions that administer the
Internet, such as ISOC. While this has been difficult initially
because the historical roots of the Internet have been in
developed countries, we are now at a time when not only the
impact, use, and importance of the Internet is well recognized
in all countries, but the skills to manage the Internet and the
understanding of policy issues that affect all countries are
reaching critical mass at the national level.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have just been elected to the ISOC Board, and am
Chair of the Nominating Committee this year. I take Andrew's
point that previous nominating committees have been quite aware
of the issue more diversity and have worked to try to provide
it. The more important point that Andrew has stressed is that
the members of the board are elected by their constituent groups
and that if there is a sufficient interest in diversity among
the membership of a constituent group, then the resulting
collection will favor that interest. I am fully committed to
working toward a ballot this year that provides sufficient
choice to result in diverse additions to the board, but I need
help from all three constituencies to ensure success.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Remember that in addition to those candidates that
are selected by the nominating committee for the ballot, there
is the possibility of becoming a petition candidate and adding
your name to the ballot. There is no barrier to having a diverse
valid in any of the three constituencies (IETF, ISOC
organizational members, ISOC chapters) if there is sufficient
interest to do so among the membership of that constituency.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Finally, this is a subject that is relevant for the
soon to be formed Internet Society Governance working group,
which has the charter that provides for an examination of the
current governance structure and possible modifications to it.
Each constituency will have representatives on this working
group, and those of you who have a particular interest in
governance diversification should learn who your representatives
will be on the working group and communicate your desires
through them.</div>

Good. We'll see if that was effective next year, when
they put their candidates for the BoT. <br class="">

There's been some discussion of this. I will note
that this Board is already quite large, and adding
more people could make it seriously unwieldy. </blockquote>
I didn't mean to add *more* people, but when filling in
a vacancy; it has happened in the past - when I stepped
down from the BoT, Alejandro Pisanty was chosen to
finish my term. So, one East European was replaced with
one person from Latin America. IMHO, this was a good
choice from point of view of geographic diversity. <br class="">
