[Chapter-delegates] My candidature to serve on the Chapter Advisory Council (ChAC) Steering Committee.

[Winthrop Yu]

Indeed!  ... and as the world turns and the time zones zip by, the first to 
post. :)

I and many of my fellow chapter members would certainly endorse and vote for 
Cheryl as she brings much to the table as a knowledgeable and independent voice. 
There are several other qualified candidates for the Steering Commitee and i 
would like to see the Chapters being led to a more significant role within ISOC 
internally.

As a fairly recent example, the ChAC's "shining moment" would be the Chapters' 
overwhelming endorsement of a call for reconsideration and review of the PIR 
sale. That was the Chapters themselves, but the Steering Committee and ChAC 
officers at the time did much to ensure that the Chapters were heard, even 
re-doing a perfectly valid vote process in the face of baseless innuendo and 
attacks from certain ISOC (HQ) Trustees. Chapters should certainly be more 
proactive within ISOC and not just local extensions instructed to do the work on 
a centrally-decided agenda, or worse mere window dressing to provide global, 
multistakeholder window dressing for an increasing trend towards a centralized, 
top-down, corporatist ethos (pun intended) in the service of American Big 
Business. Thus i am hoping that the incoming Steering Committee will assist 
Chapters in ensuring that their diverse voices are heard and their views 
reflected in ISOC (HQ) policies and programs.

Best,

WYn
