          <div> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi, Hank and
              George, and everyone! <br>
              Happy New Year! <br>
              <br>
              To add to Hank - I can't tell anyone from the chapter
              community, who's asking, that they should run for the BoT
              these days, that they should do it. <br>
              <br>
              We have seen over and over again that there's some
              sentiment towards chapters and chapter-elected leaders,
              which is counterproductive. We have seen how some of the
              chapters' even slight attempts to push for changes at ISOC
              have died - for example in the creation of a
              "governance-reform group", which has been left with no
              staff support (I believe Andrew explained why ISOC won't
              support its work?), and with a handful of people
              contributing (thanks go primarily to Richard for
              summarizing and organizing the contributions; have I
              missed someone else?), it has effectively been in a coma
              for quite a while. Now, with Mike Godwin stepping down as
              a co-chair, people are probably expecting the end of it? <br>
                <br>
              It would have been different, if we have seen proposals by
              chapters (and elected Trustees by them) being considered
              more seriously by the BoT. <br>
              It would have been different, if we have seen ISOC itself
              more aligned to help chapters solve local issues through
              the power of a global organization. It would have been
              different, but it's not.<br>
              <br>
              And therefore it's not a surprise not many people want to
              run for the Board, right?  <br>

              Hi George, <br>
              <br>
              I assume many of you also follow the ICANN at-large list
              and their "multistakeholderism" discussions this past
              week. <br>
              <br>
              In order to be a proper candidate, one that is involved
              and not just a figurehead, you have to assume at least 50
              hr/month of work at being a Trustee.    Other than travel
              there is no reimbursement for time spent working as  a
              Trustee.  So who can volunteer and who cannot: <br>
              <br>
              - who can volunteer: <br>
                 - a retired person with a pension (George Sadowsky) <br>
                 - a person whose company/organization is willing to
              fund his/her time as a trustee (Richard Barnes/Cisco, Paul
              Ebersman/Neustar, Brian Haberman/JHU, Ted Hardie/Cisco,
              Robert Pepper/FB, Jon Peterson/Neustar, Laura
              Thomson/Fastly) <br>
                 - A person whose organization may not be completely
              aware of the immense time spent on ISOC Trustee needs, yet
              their goals are consistent with the goals of ISOC and
              allow their staff some leeway into such participation
              (Ndeye Maimouna Diop/Sonotel, Luis Martinez/Professor in
              Mexico, Muhammad Shabbir) <br>
              <br>
              Every company has a Board of Directors who are paid for
              being a Board member (not a lot but not nothing).  As long
              as ISOC has a policy not to compensate Trustees, we will
              end up whereby ISOC is indirectly controlled by large
              technological companies. <br>
              <br>
              In order to attract those 35-55 year olds who work 50+
              hrs/week and who don't have an employer to back them, ISOC
              needs to change its policy and begin to compensate
              trustees. <br>
