<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I received mine on June 17 and it came from this email address.
<br>
<a href="mailto:member@surveymonkeyuser.com" target="_blank"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">member@surveymonkeyuser.com</a> (<a
href="mailto:rejman@isoc.org" target="_blank"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">rejman@isoc.org</a> via
SurveyMonkey)It was not titled a ballot but a consensus call</p>
<p>I would search for this email and you should be able to find it.
It is only sent to the person listed in the chapter as being the
rep to the chapter advisory council<br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Judith<br>

This is an important voting ballot. It is awkwardly called
a "consensus call" but in fact it is a VOTE which will
determine whether there is support from Chapters for two
proposals from Internet Society Puerto Rico Chapter:<br>
<br>
1. To open the Chapter Delegates Mailing List to Observers<br>
2. To ask the Internet Society Board to resume funding for
ISOC.LIVE<br>
<br>
Ask them to FIND THAT BALLOT IN THEIR EMAIL AND VOTE!<br>
<br>
The deadline for answering this poll will be by end of day
<strong>1 July 2024.</strong><br>
<br>
<strong>1.</strong> The first proposal is that the Chapter
Delegate email list (<a
href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/tr/v1/te/9j1PvCydjOv_2BLwgl0oF53jwwio0telZ8N1DGWXKxh_2B2imhkcgutD5QyUYNErbkzs4iO8dao46hRbC7dgbAcr9e0p_2B6JIVnXSfVQ47Yl6xCcZMkcDAcEYtyhkLBmMX5ADyh_2FzXkJ5tBh6vs_2FnOoeSYNR_2B_2BXz_2FZ_2BOxmNjaRBqxyQzb7yNpcM5ZV8HotkSpTN_2F69_2FjqpsSIl2DZ3fIY7zVQQA_3D_3D"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://elists.isoc.org/mailman/private/chapter-delegates/</a>)
should be opened to chapter members as observers (view
only – not allowed to post) to enhance transparency and
understanding of ongoing discussions concerning Internet
Society chapters.<br>
<br>
The summary and presentation (3 pages) on the issue of
opening the chapter delegate mailing list to chapter
members as observers can be found here: <a

<br>
<br>
<strong>2.</strong> The second proposal is that Internet
Society funding for the ISOC LIVE video services and
archiving services should be reinstated, and that Internet
Society should financially support ISOC LIVE on an ongoing
basis.<br>
<br>
The summary and presentation (4 pages) on the issue of
funding support for ISOC LIVE can be found here: <a

I am not going to comment on the first poll as there are
views for/against opening Chapter Delegates mailing list.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>On the other hand, the second vote about ISOC.LIVE is
one where I have very strong views. </b><br>
<br>
As you know from some of the updated emails which Joly has
sent to the Chapter Delegates mailing list, his service
costs in the region of $64 000 per annum and currently Dr.
Vint Cerf is funding it out of his own pocket (thank you!)
until August 2024. Past that date we do not know what will
happen. It is therefore very important that we, as
Chapters, ask for the Internet Society Board of Trustees
to bring back the funding for this excellent resource
which many Chapters have benefited from - and your chapter
can benefit directly too! The discussion is not about
"live" and "recorded" or whatever ISOC is trying to make
you believe. It is about having a channel that has high
production value, with captions, titles, names of
speakers, sound and video enhancement, a full description,
as well as publicity for your event on many external
mailing lists, raising the profile of your chapter and
increasing the number of viewers for your content. Joly
brings 40 years of experience in that field - he is no
amateur and the productions speak for themselves.<br>
Year ago, this was promoted by ISOC - in fact there was
even talk of some video equipment to be shared with
Chapters so they could stream their event with better
quality picture etc. But in recent years, the Chapters
have seen all of this taken away from them and replaced
with... nothing but bureaucracy to stop them from
utilising the resource. <br>

<br>
All done by one person working with the Internet Society
Chapters.<br>
<br>
A bargain at $64K all included. But you might ask - "I
thought ISOC does not have the money?"<br>
The Internet Society is receiving $30M per annum from PIR.<br>
The Internet Society foundation is receiving $30M per
annum from PIR too.<br>
And you're telling me there is no funding for a sum that
constitutes 0.21% of that $30M budget?<br>
0.1% of the total budget Internet Society + Internet
Society Foundation?<br>
<br>
<b>Think about it and vote YES to ask the Board to
reinstate funding for ISOC.LIVE</b><br>
<br>
And vote - because if you don't, it's like voting no.
ISOC.LIVE will no longer be funded and you'll only have
yourselves to blame for losing the opportunity to showcase
your Chapter's activities.<br>
