[Chapter-delegates] Important input to the ISOC Strategic Planning process

[Veni Markovski]

Thanks, Karen.
Immediately need to say, as I know that some folks are sensitive, and my 
English is not so - I appreciate and highly value all of the ISOC 
staffers, who are instrumental in what ISOC does.

However, I see no special need for us - chapter delegates - to promote 
the survey, as it was sent to all 65000 members already. I am sure that 
among them there are people, who have joined ISOC recently, and are not 
aware of the fact that such exercises have been part of ISOC for the 
last 10 years. I wouldn't be surprised, if some might remember of 
similar campaigns and discussions, e.g. ISOC 2010, ISOC 2015, and now 
ISOC 2020.

It is a little bit strange that ISOC as an organization is spending huge 
resources trying to set up the strategy towards 2020 in the time, when 
Lynn is leaving. It seems that you are not interested in hearing what 
new views and ideas the candidates for President/CEO would have, as they 
will inevitably be limited in responding to all questions, "We will do 
whatever it says in the Strategy".

Best,
Veni
