Dear Ted,<br>
<br>
I have followed with interest the recent Internet Society and
Internet Society Foundation Board meetings. I had a question
relating to a couple of Internet Society Foundation Resolutions.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.isocfoundation.org/meeting-agenda/f34-agenda/">https://www.isocfoundation.org/meeting-agenda/f34-agenda/</a><br>
<br>
Quoting the resolutions:<br>
<br>
<p><strong>9. Approval of Various Foundation Governing Documents –
Sally</strong> <strong>Wentworth</strong></p>
<p><strong>a. Extraordinary Grant Investment Request Policy</strong></p>
<p>Resolution F2025-X: Approve Amendments to the Extraordinary Grant
Investment Request Policy</p>
<p><em>WHEREAS, via Resolution F2021-16, the Internet Society
Foundation Board of Trustees adopted an Extraordinary Grant
Investment Request Policy outlining and authorizing specific
actions the Executive Director could take;</em></p>
<p><em>WHEREAS, due to the recent restructuring of the Executive
Director role, policy details have been updated;</em></p>
<p><em>RESOLVED, that the Internet Society Foundation Board of
Trustees hereby adopts the amendments to the Extraordinary Grant
Investment Request Policy as presented.</em></p>
<p><strong>b. Signature Authority and Delegation of Authority Policy</strong></p>
<p>Resolution F2025-X: Approve Amendments to the Signature Authority
and Delegation of Authority Policy</p>
<p><em>WHEREAS, via Resolution F2022-17, the Internet Society
Foundation Board of Trustees adopted a Signature Authority and
Delegation of Authority Policy outlining and authorizing
specific actions the Executive Director could take;</em></p>
<p><em>WHEREAS, due to the recent restructuring of the Executive
Director role, policy details have been updated;</em></p>
<p><em>RESOLVED, that the Internet Society Foundation Board of
Trustees hereby adopts the amendments to the Signature Authority
and Delegation of Authority Policy as presented.</em></p>
<p>--- End Quote ---</p>
<p>I looked back at F2021-16 and F2022-17:<br>
( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.isocfoundation.org/board-of-trustees/resolutions/">https://www.isocfoundation.org/board-of-trustees/resolutions/</a> )</p>
<p>Quoting:</p>
<p><i><strong>Resolution F2021-16: Adopt Extraordinary
Grant/Investment Request Policy</strong></i></p>
<p><i>WHEREAS the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and the Executive
Director of the ISOC Foundation occasionally receive grant or
investment funding requests outside of the approved budget and
the ordinary grant request process,</i></p>
<p><i>RESOLVED, that the Board hereby adopts the Extraordinary
Grant/Investment Request Policy for the ISOC Foundation,
attached hereto as exhibit A.</i></p>
<p><i><strong>Resolution F2022-17: Adopt Signature Authorization and
Delegation of Authority Policy</strong></i></p>
<p><i>WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees has general authority under
applicable statutes and the Internet Society Foundation by-laws
to enter into all contracts to which the Internet Society
Foundation may be a party, and may delegate such authority to
one or more Authorized Signatories for the day-to-day management
of the Internet Society Foundation; and</i></p>
<p><i>WHEREAS, a policy regarding signature authorization and
delegation of authority will promote the efficient operation of
the Internet Society Foundation and establish sound internal
controls where only individuals with properly delegated
signature authority are able to commit the Internet Society
Foundation to binding obligations and execute contracts on
behalf of the Internet Society Foundation;</i></p>
<p><i>RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees hereby adopts the
Signature Authorization and Delegation of Authority Policy as
presented.</i></p>
<p>--- End Quote ---</p>
<p>Unfortunately "Exhibit A" is not comprised in the Minutes, and by
the way, neither are any "Exhibits" attached to any Resolution,
thus are the Resolutions, in your view, complete when the majority
of them are referring to Exhibits that are not made public?</p>
<p>And then "as presented" is also not made available publicly. </p>
<p>So what are the changes that were voted by the Board in regards
to the "Extraordinary Grant/Investment Request Policy" and the
"Signature Authority and Delegation of Authority Policy"? </p>
<p>Kindest regards,</p>
<p>Olivier Crépin-Leblond</p>
