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.

idea 
to require the interested candidates for submitting a short note to 
describe his/her plan and ideas in adding value to and help develop ISOC
 
during his term. This is like putting his/her attributes and ideas into 
action. This means the election committee has a lot of reading to do, 
but this can avoid selecting a candidate by only their past and 
educational achievements.

>HI Louis  
>I think your  description is a good  synopsis  for  the board 
 advertisement   But  as you and I know its the track record of someone 
on a board working as committee  chairs, working with conviction and 
purpose and  lastly your  ability to drive an organization  into 
innovation  that  will make the candidate  stand out.   Someone that 
looks  good on paper might be  a  total flake in reality and  a serious 
 disruptive element.   Difference of  opinion  is  valid and healthy but  unproductive  grand standing is not.     My comments  are difficult to put into  context  except some emotional intelligence  approach to 
recuitment.
