[Chapter-delegates] ISOC-NY President Resigns

[Joyce Dogniez]

Hello everybody,

Thank you very much for this thread and for your valuable input as usual.

I wanted to take this opportunity to take a step back and look at the current situation.
Currently ISOC supports it’s Chapters' activities in many different ways :

  *   Beyond the Net, which has been completely launched to support our Chapters’ projects.
  *   Financial support for web presence
  *   A range of tools to support the day to day operations (survey monkey, zoom, webex, Connect, marketing toolkits, etc)
  *   Fellowships to regional Chapter meetings
  *   Fellowships to Internet related meetings (like IETF that is happening right now, EuroDIG, IGF, etc)
  *   A regional Chapter Manager to support the Chapters
  *   Speaker support at Chapter events
  *   …

The combination of all of these resources constitute a significant budget, but the way in which we allocate this budget and what the priorities are in how we use those resources is always open for discussion.

As mentioned we have evolved our Community Grants programme and the Event Funding Programme to a more comprehensive Beyond the Net Programme based on your input and feedback (amounts for each of the grant categories has ben increased and the scope of the small grants has been extended to support, not only events, but projects in general and the grants now include an amount to cover for the actual project management).

This opportunity for feedback is always there, as these programmes exist to support you and your work as Chapter Leaders.

Looking forward to continuing to improve and evolve our Chapter resources (and funding) together with all of you.


Thanks a lot

Joyce

Hi, Carlos!

Given the fact that right now is voting time, that sounds like a question, aimed at the candidates to join the Board of Trustees.

Hope that they will respond?

With an every day growing staff, ISOC HQ should have a dedicated staff to chapters, with real chapter experience and also a dedicated program for make chapters sustainable and volunteers.

Maybe it's a good time to ask for this as a real an serious compromise from the various candidates to the ISOC board in the next coming election

After spending a long year trying to get our local chapter 100% registered under a celar non-for profit structure in Costa Rica so we can even have our own bank account, we found out the ISOC does not even consider guaranteeing  the basic yearly support of US $ 2´000/year we assumed as the basic support to share one part time person with one of our Board members………
