    <p>Dear chapter leaders</p>
    <p>This message is especially intended to those chapter leaders who
      may not have directly followed the discussion about the new
      Chapter Charter Agreement, which is primarily happening through
      the ChAC, with the participation of the Representatives from your
      Chapters. This process was in the agenda of the Q1 (in February),
      Q2 (in May) and Q3 (in September) Full ChAC calls. </p>
    <p>As already explained in previous messages, most changes to the
      Chapter Charter Agreement come from the Chapter DNA document,
      which proposes a new vision for chapter health, resilience, and
      impact, while also recognizing the many different realities of our
      Chapters. The Chapter DNA document was prepared after consultation
      with the community in the beginning of 2026 and presented during
      the Q1 Full ChAC call. It can be found here:</p>
    <p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://app.box.com/notes/2184030150813?s=sm6wg879ouz0wcb3uuejbomrqypp1568">https://app.box.com/notes/2184030150813?s=sm6wg879ouz0wcb3uuejbomrqypp1568</a></p>
    <p>A guide showing exactly how proposed changes in the new Chapter
      Charter Agreement are directly connected to the Chapter DNA has
      been shared with the ChAC Representatives during the first
      consultation round of the review process, and can be found here:</p>
    <p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://app.box.com/notes/2286649326490?s=bphineozvfi6cldkx2irs166fji8qlyf">https://app.box.com/notes/2286649326490?s=bphineozvfi6cldkx2irs166fji8qlyf</a></p>
    <p>I hope the information on these two documents is helpful.</p>
    <p>Just to remember where we are in the process, the first
      consultation round has now closed and the feedback received is
      currently being incorporated into iteration 2 of the new Chapter
      Charter Agreement. This work is being carried out together with
      the relevant Internet Society teams, including the Legal team, so
      that the revised draft can better reflect the different legal and
      operational realities raised by Chapters.</p>
    <p>In the coming weeks, the revised draft will be published and a
      dedicated ChAC session will be held to present the main changes
      and explain how the feedback from Chapters was considered in
      iteration 2. </p>
    <p>We recognize that not everyone was able to engage at every stage
      of the earlier process. This next consultation round will provide
      another opportunity for all Chapters to review the revised
      proposal, understand its rationale, contribute, and share and
      discuss their views with the Chapter community.</p>
    <p>Thank you again for staying engaged in the process.</p>
    <p>Best,</p>
    <p>Flávio</p>

            criteria, available resources, capacity, or the support

            style="font-kerning: none;">Following the same spirit of

        <p

            than proceeding from the assumption that the Agreement needs
            to be changed, I propose that the next ChAC Steering
            Committee include as a specific objective the analysis of
            mechanisms to achieve the goals identified through the
            Chapter DNA process without modifying the Chapter Charter

            style="font-kerning: none;">That analysis could distinguish
            which objectives require contractual provisions and which
            can be better achieved through evaluation criteria, capacity

            style="font-kerning: none;">If, after that analysis, there
            are specific problems for which the existing Agreement is
            demonstrably an obstacle and a contractual amendment is

            style="font-kerning: none;">This would not mean abandoning
            the objectives behind Chapter DNA. It would mean </span><span
style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT; font-weight: bold; font-kerning: none;">starting
            with the objectives and the problems, and then choosing the

              <div>I am just now checking this thread, and since I
                bizarrely kind of like this very boring subject of
                reviewing governance documents, I thought dropping a few
                comments could, hopefully, be helpful!
                <ul>
                  <li>Concrete suggestions, like the ones in many
                    comments here, are really useful for those reviewing
                    the text. That is probably the best way to have
                    concerns heard, not only by pointing out the issue,
                    but also by proposing a solution or an alternative.
                    It also helps confirm the problem is real by
                    grounding it in concrete terms. It is really nice to
                    see this effort from the chapters; it is rare to see
                    a community that tries to be that efficient with
                    their contributions, as we can see here!</li>
                  <li>ISOC usually has a good standard for documenting
                    discussions and meetings, even when we couldn't be
                    part of them. Although reading these materials can
                    be tiring for that very reason, it’s useful when we
                    are thinking about not transferring our very natural
                    need to save time to others. Notes help a lot to
                    avoid reviving debates that have already taken
                    place, and to answer the most common questions that
                    tend to arise - which is something that helps
                    everyone involved go forward more expeditiously
                    (which is also a very good reason to publish the
                    contributions that chapters made to the review
                    proposal).</li>
                  <li><span style="background-color:transparent">This
                      last one is more of a personal note: those
                      discussions are most productive when they receive
                      personal/collective opinions, and the format in
                      which those opinions are presented does not really
                      matter. So, IMHO, it is best to avoid fully
                      AI-generated comments. Most people use AI to
                      review this kind of work nowadays, looking for
                      flaws or objective possibilities of improvement,
                      so they will likely do the same (or already have)
                      in one phase of the review, and the suggestions an
                      AI tool makes will be part of the process at some
                      point. Those tools are very useful for the people
                      organizing the inputs and adding them to the
                      governance text, but they don't really add much to
                      the improvement discussion (meaning the input from
                      the community) itself.</span></li>
                </ul>
                <br>
                Very interesting comments here overall, and, again, nice
                to see that much engagement from our community (:<br>

                                  <p>I would like to reiterate that I do
                                    not see a clear rationale for
                                    changing the agreement with the
                                    Chapters. The fact that it has only
                                    been in force for eight years is
                                    not, in itself, a problem. On the
                                    contrary, it is generally desirable
                                    to have agreements that are durable
                                    and remain valid over time.</p>
                                  <p>At this point, we have not been
                                    presented with clear arguments
                                    explaining why the agreement should
                                    be changed or what specifically
                                    needs to be changed.</p>
                                  <p>The process seems to have moved
                                    directly to requesting input on
                                    possible changes without first
                                    establishing a clear understanding
                                    of their purpose and rationale. This
                                    risks becoming a process without a
                                    clearly stated justification or any
                                    evident benefits.</p>
                                  <p>Is there any analysis supporting
                                    this proposal? Are there specific
                                    areas of the current agreement that
                                    have created conflicts,
                                    difficulties, or identified needs
                                    that should be considered?</p>
