[Chapter-delegates] Resend of August 30 Request for Review and Comment on current proposed revisions to the By-laws

[Eric Burger]

To be very clear: the Advisory Council of Organizations do not have representatives "making decisions on the structure ofthe bylaws." They are not "collecting feedback" if you mean that to mean collecting feedback in general. Specifically, they are providing feedback from Organization members. As I pointed out in my report, we have had 19 comments (some duplicative or +1's) from Chapter leaders since we put out a final call for comments. If I did not say it before, thank you all for getting your comments in writing and on time to the Bylaws Committee! 

The final call for comments produced zero comments on the AC list, zero comments on the bylaws list, and zero comments communicated to the Board by Organization Members. The hope is we can extract some useful feedback.

If anything, this highlights how much better Chapters are at communicating with ISOC in general and the Board in particular than Organizations. Through both your active participation and the active work of staff, the needs and desires of Chapters are well-known and well-articulated. That is not so for Organizations. Organizations do not have the structural relationship that Chapters do with the Society, nor do they have the staff and regional support that Chapters do.

By the same token, we do listen. You should see a message shortly from Ted requesting direct participation from the Chapter community to the Bylaws Committee. Settling expectations: like the people participating from the Organization community, these individuals will neither make decisions on the bylaws nor be voting on changes. They will be helping with feedback as well as giving advice from their own Chapter experience to the Bylaws Committee.
