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

 

Dear Chapter Leaders

As 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
