Dear Chapter Colleagues,<br>
<br>
your Chapter Advisory Council representative will have received a
ballot in their email from <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

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>

chapter delegate mailing list to chapter members as observers can

<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>

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>
