[Chapter-delegates] Day-to-day funding

[Ted Mooney]

True, Veni,

We would all favor more direct and immediate action.  And there is acute awareness of the situation among many staff as well as chapter leaders.  My point in the discussion is not just to vent, but to catalog and come back to Chapters with the opportunity to prioritize a list of upgraded support opportunities.  And that is still my intent.  Nevertheless if more discussion and seeding of ideas is not what you would like at this point, what advise to do you have for Chapter Support?

Best,

Ted

While it will surprise no one to say that nothing will be done quickly, I would like to work with Chapter leaders to develop a long term support plan for the Internet Society that takes these needs and ideas into consideration, indeed as a foundation.  I'm making no commitment that once a plan is developed it will be fully implemented.  Such a decision is at the highest levels.  However, without a proposal that is complete and well thought-out, the likely outcome is quite diminished.  So I am collecting these ideas for the moment and will discuss alternatives for moving forward with ISOC Execs.
