Dear Frédéric,<br>
<br>
thanks for your kind follow-up. Whilst I do not believe we are
engaging in politics, the aim of the transparency was to see whether
all votes were taken into account by the system.<br>
A fallback scenario would be to just publish the list of Chapters
who have voted without publishing their actual vote, so Chapter
Chairs can check that their Chapter AC delegate has cast their vote
and the vote has been taken into account. That's quite basic and I
do not think will lead to the horse trading which you allude to in
your email.<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

thank you for forwarding this information and following up on

In the interest of transparency would you please forward the
results showing chapters having voted and their vote? I note
that nowhere in the Chapter AC rules is there any mention of
consensus calls needing to be confidential.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">The message you
find attached outlines the procedures and results of
the poll conducted by the Chapters Advisory Council
(ChAC) of the Internet Society, conducted via Survey
Monkey between June 17th and July 1st, and aimed to
gather support for two proposals from the Puerto Rico
Chapter among the 101 Chapters with voting rights. The
first proposal was to open the Chapter Delegate email
list to all Chapter Members as observers, while the
second was to reinstate funding for the ISOC LIVE
video and archiving services.<br>
<br>
The results showed that while a majority of responding
Chapters supported both proposals, the required level
of support for approval required by the ChAC Rules and
Procedures for sending advice to the Board of Trustees
still needs to be reached. Specifically, 66.04% voted
in favour of the first proposal, and for the second,
88.68% voted in favour. However, due to the rules
requiring a majority of all eligible Chapters to vote
'yes,' the proposals still need to pass. <br>
<br>
Despite the ChAC being unable to send “formal advice”
to the Board of Trustees, the ChAC Steering Committee
is taking a proactive step. We propose sending a
“recommendation” to the BoT regarding the two
proposals since their approval was clear among the
poll respondents.<br>
<br>
I've included more details in the attached PDF. If you
need additional information or access to the specific
results and discussions, we have also included below
