[Chapter-delegates] Trustees! not staff! Re: Announcement about the dissolution of ISOC-KH

Thu Nov 7 08:45:27 PST 2013

*Dear Chapter Delegates and Leaders*

With all the pointing and questioning going on, I think it's high time we
think about what we should all do for the community. ISOC community is
something where we all have shown our association for CHANGE and
standardization.

The whole standardization issue of performance is a question of how you
want to evaluate yourself in terms of your efficiency and management. Why
are we getting scared of all these performance factors?

I think to some extent we have pushed the ISOC HQ to lay down these
performance factors as they have no choices about how to monitor and manage
and I think we should try to understand it seeing through eyes.

Why are we questioning the ISOC Staff and trustees they are part of us our
community and most importantly we have selected them and they work for us
and our community.

I have rarely met or known the staffs  personally  but I sincerely trust
them as I believe they are doing good for us our community. let's have that
benefit of doubt and move together *UNITED *coz it matters for all of us
and our message of standing of *Internet is for Everyone. *

Let's have that *trust and believe* in them and let's work towards progress
then to criticize and just pointing fingers at other. As we all know when
you point your finger then 3 fingers are pointing at you about your role
and objective.

I have been associated with ISOC since 2006, I have not seen much  but I
know that change can happen from you, and we all have the same
objective to *UNITE
* then why are we questioning each other and creating a mess

We all have joined for one purpose of  *OPEN INTERNET *and that should
unite us all.

Cheers to Life
