    <p>HI All,</p>
    <p>I believe that once you click on the question 1,  it brings you
      to the survey monkey, and then you can vote  on both questions.  I
      agree it is very confusing.  Since I already voted, I cannot see
      the screen and see the survey monkey, but I recall both questions
      were on the consensus call</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Best,</p>
    <p>Judith<br>

      <p>In the meantime, i have received a "replacement" ballot from
        Rama, but it seems to contain only the option to vote on
        question  1 (Mailing List), there is no option to vote on
        question 2 (Joly / ISOC LIVE). I have emailed Rama back about
        this.<br>
      </p>
      <p><br>
      </p>
      <p>I would recommend that ChAC representatives carefully check
        their ballots (particularly "replacement" ballots) to see if
        they can vote on question 2. Otherwise, inability to vote on
        question 2 counts as a "no" vote.<br>
      </p>
      <p><br>
      </p>
      <p>Given all the above problems, i would still recommend re-doing
        the process, in order to remove any doubts as to the validity of
        the results.<br>

          <p>It may be (as i was informed in my case) that certain
            Chapter Officer roles on Fonteva have expired. Strange
            though -- when the new AMS went live, i did check Fonteva
            out (and, as always, paid particular attention to the
            Chapter Officer roles and expiry dates). Then there was a
            ChAC call earlier this year, and i checked everything again,
            following the emailed meeting notice's advice to check ChAC
            reps. Well, however Fonteva expires Chapter Officer roles,
            now we know that Fonteva does not send-out email warnings of
            soon-to-expire Officer roles as the previous AMS did.<br>
            <br>
          </p>
          <p>Then there's the case of Amrita who is on the ChAC rep list
            but did not receive a ballot.<br>
            <br>
          </p>
          <p>Given the problems with Fonteva, i would recommend that
            this ChAC vote/consensus be re-done (there is a precedent
            for this, at that time even after results were in), after
            Chapters have been reminded to check their Officer roles in
            the AMS and confirming that the Chapters' ChAC
            representatives are registered on the AMS. Else, as a
            missing vote counts as a "no", the missing votes would skew
            this "consensus" and provide an erroneous/misleading result.<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 1 July 2024.<br>
                          <br>
                          1. The first proposal is that the
                          Chapter Delegate email list (<a
href="https://elists.isoc.org/mailman/private/chapter-delegates/"
                            target="_blank"
class="x_moz-txt-link-freetext moz-txt-link-freetext"
                            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>
                          2. 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

                          <br>
                          <br>
                          <br>
                          I am not going to comment on the first poll as
                          there are views for/against opening Chapter
                          Delegates mailing list.<br>
                          <br>
                          <br>
                          On the other hand, the second vote about
                          ISOC.LIVE is one where I have very strong
                          views. <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>

                          Think about it and vote YES to ask the Board
                          to reinstate funding for ISOC.LIVE<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>
