[Chapter-delegates] Recent Correspondence from the Cambodian Chapter

[Ted Mooney]

To all Chapter Delegates

ISOC Staff and, in particular, Membership and Services,  are saddened by the recent decision and communication from the Cambodian Chapter regarding their desire to dissociate from the Internet Society for administrative and other support concerns.  I believe, however, there has been an unfortunate miscommunication.  The Chapter Development and APAC staff  have reached out to the Cambodian Chapter on numerous occasions.  As many of you know, our Chapter Development team has worked with other chapters to help address issues nearly identical to what the Cambodian Chapter is experiencing.  Our offer of collaboration remains.

The issue of the lack of direct financial transfers is currently not among the solutions the Internet Society can offer.  There are, nevertheless many other avenues to address the administrative support of the Chapter, which are both local and long term.  Indeed Staff are working with Chapter volunteers and have convened a new Chapter Administrative Support Working Group to address this issue broadly.  We hope the Cambodian Chapter will reassess their position and re-engage with ISOC staff as soon as possible.  Our Chapter Development staff will reach out once again to the Cambodian Chapter officers.

Best regards,

Ted
