[Chapter-delegates] An occasion to congratulate and commit support to an initiative that is not part of ISOC....

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Hi,

the relationshipo with the Internet Society of China has a long, complex 
history. Over time the best approach taht has worked is to delegate fully 
its management to ISOC HQ, who have done an esteemable job of this 
complex, sometimes ungrateful task.


Franck has mentioned some of the complexities - relationships with other 
organizations in many countries, etc. - in which even a minor gaffe can 
complicate things that are otherwise well-managed.

Each will arrive to different conclusions. Mine is to communicate 
bottom-up within ISOC any change someone may desire but still leave the 
responsibility where it presently resides.

Perhaps this would be an occasion to congratulate the 'Internet Society' of China and encourage them? We may eventually have to ask them in a nice way to name their organization a bit differently and/or welcome them to be a part of ISOC, but now this is an occasion for ISOC to congratulate them?
