hi Alejandro
As you note, some of the change is still evolving. At the same time
each region is different and will likely have different preferences. I
can say for certain, that you can always contact <chapter-support at isoc.org
> or your Regional Bureau Manager if you have questions. If we are
unable to help, we will try to connect you with the right people.
I hope this helps,
thanks
Anne

>> 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.
>>
