>
>
> 1- Let's use a shared spreadsheet
>
> https://docs.google.com/**spreadsheet/ccc?key=**0AnRJRsFhZnz-**
> dEZMd3lkbm9xLWc0WjR3eS1sdTRBak**E&usp=sharing<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnRJRsFhZnz-dEZMd3lkbm9xLWc0WjR3eS1sdTRBakE&usp=sharing>

> to write down the actions we'd like to delegate so we can focus on
> mission. Seeing each other's needs and ideas may help us to nail it down.
>
> In the spreadsheet
> - add a column for your chapter
> - add actions as rows if needed
> - write *estimated* hours/month needed on that task for your chapter
> (intersection cell between your chapter and a given action)
>
> In the bottom orange area of the spreadsheet:
> - add gross (ie. taxes included) *estimated* cost/hour in local currency
> - add approximated conversion factor to USD
>
> Figures do not need to be perfect right now, rough estimates will help us
> to size the quantity and efforts we are talking about. It's just a back of
> the envelope calculation, we'll refine it later on.
>
>
> 2 Let's give us 2 weeks to fulfill it and consider the spreadsheet
> completed, closing on May 5th.
>
>
> 3- Then we'll have:
> a) a list of typical tasks chapters have to do but would be much more
> efficient if being done by someone else as paid professional
> b) an estimated total cost for ISOC
>
>
> 4- Work with staff to write a formal proposal to Board that could be
> included in ISOC's 2014 budget (when is the deadline?).
> Get proposal ready by June 30th so we can discuss it in a face to face
> meeting in ICANN's Durban meeting
>
>
> 5- Assuming the/a model is accepted by HQ:
>
> - Money goes from HQ to chapter, never to individuals.
> - It's a chapter issue to find the person and to legally pay and set the
> work relation.
> - That person has to learn, understand and follow ISOC values processes,
> etc (ie. training needed)
> - Payment to chapter is done if and only if chapter is able to meet or
> exceed pre-defined agreed metrics and reports them to HQ. (Partial payment
> if goals aren't met at 100% but are above a minimum?)
> - Not all chapters will sign for the same actions to be done and measured.
> - This plan should not be an obstacle for chapters to look for other
> revenue streams, but a way to break the deadlock and be able to charge a
> membership fee, look for partners, corporate sponsors, etc. ASAP
> - We could have it running for one year (2014) and then evaluate results
>
>
> This is just a quick brain dump, sure it needs to be improved and
> modified, may be totally. There were many good ideas in several previous
> emails on that topic, but I cannot recover them all right now, do feel free
> to bring them back.
>
> Let's keep the ball rolling.
>
> cheers,
> jordi
