Subject: [Chapter-delegates] Creation of a Chapter Advisory Committee	Drafting Task Force
















Dear Chapter LeadersAs Chapter representatives
on the Bylaws Revision Committee that worked to provide for a Chapter Advisory
Committee, we would like to issue a formal call to create a Task Force to draft
a proposal for a CAC to present to the Board of Trustees for approval.  The revised Bylaws require that there be a
petition from the Chapters to institute the CAC, as was the case with the
Organizational Advisory Council.The purposes of the CAC, among
others, would be to represent the interests of the Chapters and to provide an
institutional structure for the future growth of the role of the Chapters in the
life of the Internet Society.  The
Council would also be the body of peers to which issues concerning Chapters
could be directed. The Task Force will need
to be small enough to work well, but broad enough and operated in a transparent
fashion to ensure that a workable, effective, democratic, and representative
Council will be the end result of our efforts.Our belief is that the Task
Force must be Chapter-leader driven, but at the same time we will need to work with
staff to insure that funding and other necessary support will be forthcoming.
Joyce Dogniez has volunteered to coordinate with the Task Force in providing
logistics. Ted Mooney and other members of staff dedicated to Chapter support have indicated they welcome the creation of the Council.Our call is for
volunteers willing to work as part of the Task Force and are able and ready to
spend enough of their time and energy over the next four to five months to create
a solid proposal for a Chapter Advisory Council.  Our goal should be to
have the proposal ready for consideration at the Board Meeting in April 2014.Sincerely,Hans Peter Dittler							John H. MoreMember of the Board							TreasurerISOC.DC									ISOC-DCInternet Society German Chapter e.V.			The Greater Washington DC Chapter of												the Internet Society, Inc.
