[chapter-delegates] FW: ISOC ELECTIONS OPEN

[Rosa Delgado]

Veni,

I agree with you so because it was no clear for me either so I contacted
George Shadowsky (former chair of nomcoms) for advise. The same rule is
also applicable to org members (see the exchange with George below).

Therefore, if we want to ensure a good chapter rep for next elections we
better have in mind few good candidates and if possible with regional
representation Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, etc.

Best regards

Rosa,
what you say sounds a little bit strange.
You can't nominate non-chapter members - or otherwise, why not address
them 
to be part of the org member candidates??
After all, chapters exist also because they want representation in the
BoT. Also, let's not forget, that if it wasn't for chapter-elected
trustess, the 
2005 budget would have limited or no funding at all for chapter
projects, 
and for public policy.


best,
veni
