Colleagues,

The Internet has matured and evolved over the past 20 years from a "nascent=
 technology" with imagined-but then unknown-potential to the world-wide pla=
tform for connection, collaboration, community and commerce that it is toda=
y. We face, as we are all aware, new challenges in ensuring that the princi=
ples that got us here remain central to the continuing evolution of the Int=
ernet. We are committed, with the same passion we have always shown, to mee=
t these challenges head on.

To be successful we must be focused, disciplined and organized in a way tha=
t leverages all of our expertise, talent and accumulated knowledge. We must=
 be a cohesive team, ready to work together, enlist allies, tell our story =
and engage with everyone with a stake in an open, secure, global network of=
 networks.

We have committed to achieving three priorities:

#1. Maintaining and strengthening multi-stakeholder processes both
globally and locally.

#2. Promoting robustness and resiliency of Internet security and privacy
through technology standards and deployment; and

#3. Advancing the deployment of core Internet infrastructure and
evolution of technology to ensure the sustainability and reliability of
the Internet.

To better leverage our talent, expertise and budget assets to meet these ob=
jectives, we will be streamlining our business case and realigning a number=
 of our functions and people.

Effective Monday, March 17, 2014:

We will refocus our organizational structure to ensure responsibility and a=
ccountability for achieving our priorities by:

1. Establishing an office of Regional Engagement* at the executive level;

2. Realigning our engagement, messaging and communications functions into o=
ne integrated office;

3. Consolidating the technical work of the organization into the Chief Inte=
rnet Technical Office;

4. Strengthening our Global Policy Office;

5. Consolidating our business, administrative and financial functions in th=
e Finance Office;

6. Positioning the economist as a shared asset;

These changes will require each of us to demonstrate both the high professi=
onal commitment we have to the overall mission of ISOC as well as patience,=
 openness to change and willingness to "exercise new muscles" to adapt to a=
 more integrated approach to doing our work.

Thank you.
Kathy
