>> will also be reworked to support greater engagement between Org members and
>> ISOC. We will be seeking  greater value for our investments  at every
>> turn.
>>
>>  Most important to this plan for the year ahead and beyond is our

>>  The Board of Trustees will review and potentially revise this plan and
>> vote on the approval in their meeting in Buenos Aires on November 22 & 23.
>> Once approved, we all look forward to working with you to execute and
>> inform the 2014 business plan implementation.
