[Chapter-delegates] Call for Input into Board skills criteria

[Christian de Larrinaga]

I'm amused there is fear of disruptive influencers when the entire
rationale to have ISOC created was to be deeply and pervasively
disruptive by some of the most disruptive influencers in late twentieth
century history!  The trick is knowing how to generate signal rather
than noise.

What our pioneers and founders gave us if we care to remember is a sense
of what it really takes to be a disruptive influence. Some qualities
which seem to stand out include intellectual rigour, firmness of
purpose, working from first principles and adopting Postel's law "Be
conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others".  

I do not think the Internet vision or mission that ISOC proposes for the
world is anywhere near "establishment" status. Let's please keep disrupting.

> Hi eveyone,

> Just on the fly (maybe what's following has already been mentioned):

> The Board skills criteria could include integrity, objectivity and

> multistakeholder modeland of the Internet Society's mission and
> operation,are committed to its success, experienced in world affairs
> (can be non-profit), contribute to cultural and geographic expertise,
> and can work long and hard, generally as volunteers, in the global
> public trust.
