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
platform for connection, collaboration, community and commerce that it is
today. We face, as we are all aware, new challenges in ensuring that the
principles that got us here remain central to the continuing evolution of
the Internet. We are committed, with the same passion we have always shown,
to meet these challenges head on.
To be successful we must be focused, disciplined and organized in a way that
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
objectives, 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
accountability 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
one integrated office;
3. Consolidating the technical work of the organization into the Chief
Internet Technical Office;
4. Strengthening our Global Policy Office;
5. Consolidating our business, administrative and financial functions in the
Finance Office;
6. Positioning the economist as a shared asset;
These changes will require each of us to demonstrate both the high
professional 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
