Alejandro,
I like your questions. I've often thought it would be very, very useful
for ISOC chapters to recruit a Board of Advisors (separate and distinct
from the leadership of the chapter) who would consist of leaders of the
Internet community, the business community, and the non-profit sector in
their country. The Advisors would not be asked to do much (although they
might be speakers at chapter events or help recruit speakers and members).
The advisors' most important role would be to lend their name to the cause
and thus increase the credibility and reach of the chapter. Perhaps more
importantly, the fact that a chapter in formation could recruit such a
group would be prima facie evidence that the chapter was in good hands.

AM of Congo chapter - please review
Veni,
great to read you.
Does your email imply that you know the proponents of both and trust that:
1. they represent a fraction of the Internet community in their countries;
2. are able to represent ISOC's ideals and plans;
3. they are honest dealers who will play straight for all involved;
4. are not overriding, sequestering, or otherwise playing foul with other
former or possible proponents of a chapter;
5. will run their chapter as far as possible in a democratic, transparent
manner;
6. are reasonably independent from pressures of special interests?
(and so on, i.e., are you telling us briefly that you have done your share
of due diligence on both? I would bet you know well the principals in
Romania and can answer "yes" to all of the above but don't know equally
well how much you are acquainted with our friends from Congo, as instead
Wallonie and Luxembourg, i.e. Marie-Anne and Patrick have documented.)
This is in no way a challenge to your knowledge! My thought is that when
ISOC staff consults the chapter delegates on these matters they are not
only looking for applause and warm welcomes, which tend to be well
deserved, but asking for the things that Marie-Anne and Patrick have
replied to. We form a "Web of trust" of sorts.
BTW based on the information provided till now I support the two
applications, and hope that someone has indeed documented answers to the
due-diligence questions.
Yours,
Alejandro Pisanty
