[Chapter-delegates] Proposal to revise ISOC's mission statement

[Eve Edelson]

I agree with the previous statements (and enjoyed the linguistic
discussion).

A few thoughts:

1. I am not sure the section "Together, we focus on" is needed, because the
section "To help achieve our mission" spells out our focus.

[Maybe, in questioning that section, I am belatedly questioning the whole
effort, something which I do not intend.]

Setting that aside:

2.
"Together, we focus on:"
"  - Building and supporting the communities that make the Internet work;"

This seems admirable, but quite open-ended. Maybe that's as it should be.


3.
 " - Advancing the development of Internet infrastructure,  technologies,
and open standards; ..."

This seems redundant, because a bit further down, we see:

 " To help achieve our mission, the Internet Society:
  - Facilitates open development of standards, protocols,  administration,
and the technical infrastructure of the Internet."


I hope my comments are not off-base; thank you for the opportunity to offer
them.
