Dear Cheryl,
thank you for explaining the function of the Chapter Advisory Council.
I would add a few more thing:
For information to others here, the Chapter Advisory Council's summary
description is on:
https://www.internetsociety.org/chapters/chapters-advisory-council/
Its function is defined by the Charter published on
https://www.internetsociety.org/chapters/chapters-advisory-council/charter/
I should add, having been amongst the Chapters that proposed the Chapter
AC and drafted the Charter, that the Chapter AC is not an exclusive
channel for all conversations between the President & CEO and Board of
Trustees of the Internet Society and the Chapters. Rather it serves as a
facilitator to help with communication and provide clarity over what
Chapters are asking for when sometimes there are mixed messages coming
from Chapters. So it is an additional channel - and a very strong one
indeed as it is able to work out a consensus amongst Chapters on major
issues.
As such, I hope that you and your Steering Committee have taken note of
the points which have been discussed here and are putting together a
working plan on how to resolve these with the President, CEO and Board.
Some significant concerns have been expressed, not by isolated voices
but by many Chapters on several points, so they cannot be dropped in
between the floorboards.
Kindest regards,
Olivier
