[Chapter-delegates] Respect and professionalism on the Chapter Delegates List

[Ted Mooney]

Everyone,

My colleague Jacek Gajewski made a very important statement regarding the use of the Chapter Delegates list.   

"In general, I don't think that a Chapter X should publicly express concern what Chapter Y is doing within its area or constituency. And trying to present it as position of colleagues of other European Chapters without any prior public discussion or consultation is below any standard of discussion and netiquette/tradition of Chapter-delegates list. And this is was my concern in my capacity as  one of administrators of Chapter-Delegates list."

Well said.  While ISOC staff is very happy to support the exchange of thoughts, information and professional critiques through this medium, the Chapter Delegates list is not a forum for expressing subjective dissatisfaction with one another.  Such opinions should be shared privately, between the parties.  And, as I believe you all understand, no chapter has the right to represent another with prior consultation and agreement.

Such transgressions are indeed rare and the delegates on this list share their passion as well as their expertise with energy and professionalism.  But when abuse does happen, it must be recognized and halted.  

With thanks and respect,
