[Chapter-delegates] 2014 Internet Society Board of Trustees Elections

[Evan Leibovitch]

I agree with Elver, partially.

Any candidate can promise to throw money at a solution and hope it will fix
itself. (Whether, once on the Board, such a position has a realistic
ability to succeed, is reasonable to ask. )

But the challenge is more than just money, it is one of changing culture.
IMO, those who are elected have a responsibility to ensure at the Board
level that chapters are a built-in characteristic of ISOC, indeed *the*
defining characteristic, not one that appears added on as an afterthought.

Such cultural evolution requires far more than financial consideration to
ensure chapter sustainability (though that component is certainly part of
it). I want to hear from each candidate a vision that indicates both an
understanding of this challenge and the political capability to confront it.

If I have the ability I will add this concern to the list of candidate
questions.
