Veni,

The Disabilities and Special Needs Chapter had a number of comments, 
especially on the appeals process.

This was sent to Ted Mooney, but we apparently can’t send to the 
chapter-delegates list, so if you could cross-post, it’d be appreciated.

Regards,

Mark D. Urban

Vice-Chair, ISOC Disabilities and Special Needs Chapter

+1.
I don't think it is a wise thing to mention anywhere in the by-laws of 
national ISOC entities that they are chapters of ISOC.org.
If ISOC.org stops to exist tomorrow, all these national bodies will be 
in a limbo.

    Dear All,

      

    ISOC.AM currently is involved in local IGF organizational process, we

    expect that in Armenian IGF there will be representatives from

    government, NGOs and commercial structures. Based on the

    mulch-stakeholder approaches, we expect, that there will be active

    discussion between members, all materials we shall distribute widely.

    Because it will be a  local, Armenian IGF, we need to have

    representation of Armenian organizations. In this case we have to keep

    our status only as a local NGO (ISOC.AM) with it's ByLaw, without

    mentioning, that it is a ISOC Chapter.  We shall be unable to act as a

    Chapter of a foreign organization, otherwise all our proposals will be

    interpreted as a foreign influence, which will not help to conduct

    ISOC principles.

      

    I think the solution is  possible to find in  optimal organizational

    structures for ISOC, based on the international experience. As an

    example -  Red Cross or FIFA, where each local organization is a part

    of one large association, but is fully independent from organizational

    and formal  point of view.

        members,

          

        After consideration of the legal  and strategic requirements of the

        Internet Society and serious analysis of the views offered by its

        members and Chapters,  the Board of Trustees (BoT) has asked the

        By-Laws Working Group to share the Board's recommended revisions

        with the community for a final review. The purpose of this review

        is to ensure that these changes are clear and understood before the

        Board votes on their adoption rather than to entertain at this time

        additional substantive changes.  These recommendations include a

        number of important updates.  Some notable ones are:

          

        *             Board composition *             Acknowledgement of

        Chapters, their voting and other rights and responsibilities, *

        The ability of both Organization Members and Chapters to form

        advisory groups *             The establishment of a process for

        Chapters to review and appeal de-chartering decisions *

        Conformance with the laws governing its incorporation

          

        We invite you to review the attached documents. The BLWG has

        prepared two documents for ease of review,  one which shows the

        full text and where there are revisions; the other is a call-out of

        key issues raised by the ISOC community.  These documents will be

        presented to the Trustees on July 8, 2013 for the Board's review

        and for iproposed adoption of the revised By-Laws at the July 22

        meeting of the Board of Trustees.

          

        The attached final recommendations are the product of nearly two

        years of community consultations and careful consideration and

        debate by the Trustees.  The period for substantive comment closed

        in January of this year  and all comments were thoroughly reviewed

        by the Board . In this final community review, the BLWG is open to

        comments only regarding clarity of meaning and language.  We will

        reflect  key the views on clarification received by Wednesday, July

        3 in our July 8 report to the BoT. The By-laws Working Group

        gratefully acknowledges the thoughtful consideration and

        willingness to engage from the Organization Members, Chapters and

        Individual Members. The Board of Trustees has taken community

        suggestions very seriously and Trustees have on many occasions

        expressed their appreciation for the valuable input they have

        received from ISOC Chapters and members. Once again, thank for

        taking time to review these documents for clarity.

          

        With best regards,

          

        The By-laws Working Group
