[Chapter-delegates] deadline for admin funding

[Waqas Hassan]

Dear Veni,

ISOC Pakistan Islamabad Chapter supports your stance and reiterates that
many of the chapters (including ours) are not legally registered because of
several reasons such as country laws, legal opinions, internal consensus,
sluggish Government processes especially after COVID-19 lockdowns. If our
chapter does manage to open a bank account till 30 June despite all
efforts, we will still not be able to get funds until next year. That's bad
for motivation.

In my opinion, ISOC can handle this matter in one of the following ways:

A. Receive funding requests throughout the year and disburse funds
accordingly.
B. Open multiple rounds of funding, if there is a constraint to close
budget by mid-year.
C. Remove the deadline for chapters who are in the process of legal
registration in their respective countries/areas.
D. Receive request for admin funding from all chapters for next year, but
do not disburse funds until bank account is open in the name of the
chapter.

Best Regards,

Waqas Hassan
President,
ISOC Pakistan Islamabad Chapter.
