[Chapter-delegates] Day-to-day funding

[Maureen Hilyard]

I totally agree with you on that..  but there are some frustrations that we
all feel in the regions.. and it doesn't hurt to be able to talk about them
with each other.. and to get support and advice as we have been doing.
That's what this is all about. I've really appreciated the suggestions that
have been made by Chapter delegates, as well as from Ted and other ISOC
staff.  Small steps..

No, I am not saying it; but then, ISOC is a non-profit, which was created in
order to be the home of the IETF; later it educated the Internet pioneers in
many countries. And chapters were created. To be a chapter, usually is a
pain, but we do our job - as much as we can, which is actually not to be a
chapter, but to be the leader in making sure the Internet is free and open,
and the state does not interfere in it. At least, that's in Bulgaria. Plus
many other things, like adapting Creative Commons in Bulgarian, etc.
I think it is fair to say that ISOC supports the multistakeholder model, but
sometimes it is not happy with the way the chapters behave;-) 
But, one important item - all the people we as a chapter have worked with at
ISOC, are awesome.

consideration" by staff.  And nothing happens. 




Veni,  are you saying that ISOC does not uphold the Multistakeholder Model
/bottom-up approach?
