<p>Indeed! ... and as the world turns and the time zones zip by,
the first to post. :) <br>
</p>
<p>I and many of my fellow chapter members would certainly endorse
and vote for Cheryl as she brings much to the table as a
knowledgeable and independent voice. There are several other
qualified candidates for the Steering Commitee and i would like to
see the Chapters being led to a more significant role within ISOC
internally. <br>
</p>
<p>As a fairly recent example, the ChAC's "shining moment" would be
the Chapters' overwhelming endorsement of a call for
reconsideration and review of the PIR sale. That was the Chapters
themselves, but the Steering Committee and ChAC officers at the
time did much to ensure that the Chapters were heard, even
re-doing a perfectly valid vote process in the face of baseless
innuendo and attacks from certain ISOC (HQ) Trustees. Chapters
should certainly be more proactive within ISOC and not just local
extensions instructed to do the work on a centrally-decided
agenda, or worse mere window dressing to provide global,
multistakeholder window dressing for an increasing trend towards a
centralized, top-down, corporatist ethos (pun intended) in the
service of American Big Business. Thus i am hoping that the
incoming Steering Committee will assist Chapters in ensuring that
their diverse voices are heard and their views reflected in ISOC
(HQ) policies and programs. <br>
</p>
<p>Best, <br>

and look forward to receiving those, over the next week or so,
