[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Board meeting - November 11-12, 2006 - FINAL AGENDA

[Terry Monroe]

Dear Wladyslaw-

Thanks for contacting me on this matter. It is very important to us that our
reports are accurate.  By way of background, the survey was sent to the
chapter presidents and the chapter officers.  For the Polish chapter, the
survey was sent by email to Marcin Cieslak.  We sent a second email to those
chapters that did not respond to the first email and we made an effort to
telephone each chapter for which we had a number (I will check to see if the
Polish chapter was called).

I appreciate you getting us the correct information and we will make sure to
update the report that is provided to the Board.

Regards,

Terry

Thank you very much for opportunity to read presentations in advance and 
to provide comments.

I found datasheet provided for Chapter Status Report (2006-10-24 
chapters survey status) innacurate in regards to ISOC Poland:
http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/docs/Nov2006/bot0611_chapter_surve
y_answers.pdf

Let me suggest correction:

*Rec'd responce: n*
I don't know what responce to refer to but I do not remember any 
responce request or invitation we failed to provide.

*ISOC mbrs in chptr: 141*
How you got this data? You never asked us for our stats and ISOC 
membership database is in construction for last 4 years and it is not 
operational yet. I just checked and there is still no way to input and 
store the member's name in its native spelling.

*Voted 2006 BoT election: *
Yes, we voted in 2006 BoT election

*Vote 2007 BoT election: *
Yes, we consider ourselves eligible to vote

*Read chapter-delgates list: *
Yes, all our board members read chapter-delegates list and some of us 
ara active participants.

*Read/use monthly newsletter: *
Yes, we read and make it available to our members. Also we provided 
content in past.

*Regular meetings or contact w/ mbrs*
Yes, we have weekly board meetings on IRC open to all members. Also we 
have monthly topical meetings and several topical conferences each year.

*Will you submit budget suggestion*
Probably yes if invited.

I have no hard data about other chapters but I suspect that at least 
data about ISOC Spain Catalan and ISOC USA Los Angeles are highly 
innacurate.

My suggestion is to make a "Chapter status report" more balanced and to 
evaluate status and performance both chapters and ISOC staff responsible 
for membership support.

Rgds

Wladek
