In the December 2010 Board meeting, information was prepared regarding
the plans to increase support for "Regionalisation". You can find the
details here:http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/docs/dec2010/b1-regionalization.pdf
. There are several pages to this document, so I can try to summarise
the essential changes so far in 2011, which are marked by the
announcement sent earlier on behalf of Walda Roseman. In the
document referenced above, the plans for 2011 stated:
" In addition to completing our alignment we will elevate the role,
responsibility and expected results of our Bureau leaders. The Bureau
leader will have broad multi-functional
responsibility for their region and will work in tandem with the
functional champion in order to prioritize, plan and execute against
ISOC annual goals respective to their region."
As a result, the Bureau Directors now have:
* Enhanced accountability. This includes accountability for programmes
as well as revenue targets.
* A dedicated budget which they manage so that they can organise
resources so as to be able to meet their annual programmatic goals.
* All Regional Bureaus now have named functional support (Public
policy, communications, standards and technology, chapter support
etc. ) and ISOC is adding additional dedicated staff where appropriate
in line with the organization's priorities.
* Much tighter integration and support from other functional areas in
the organisation so as to be able to meet their annual programmatic
goals.
* And lastly a new title to reflect all of the above.
I hope this helps. I'd be happy to try to answer any further questions
you have, or you also contact your nearest Bureau Director or Walda
Roseman, ISOC's COO.
Many thanks
Anne
