Mon Jun 24 21:17:40 PDT 2024

Hi All,

I received mine on June 17 and it came from this email address.
member at surveymonkeyuser.com (rejman at isoc.org via SurveyMonkey)It was not titled 
a ballot but a consensus call

I would search for this email and you should be able to find it. It is only sent 
to the person listed in the chapter as being the rep to the chapter advisory council

Best,

Judith

>>     As you know from some of the updated emails which Joly has sent to the
>>     Chapter Delegates mailing list, his service costs in the region of $64
>>     000 per annum and currently Dr. Vint Cerf is funding it out of his own
>>     pocket (thank you!) until August 2024. Past that date we do not know what
>>     will happen. It is therefore very important that we, as Chapters, ask for
>>     the Internet Society Board of Trustees to bring back the funding for this
>>     excellent resource which many Chapters have benefited from - and your
>>     chapter can benefit directly too! The discussion is not about "live" and
>>     "recorded" or whatever ISOC is trying to make you believe. It is about
>>     having a channel that has high production value, with captions, titles,
>>     names of speakers, sound and video enhancement, a full description, as
>>     well as publicity for your event on many external mailing lists, raising
>>     the profile of your chapter and increasing the number of viewers for your
>>     content. Joly brings 40 years of experience in that field - he is no
>>     amateur and the productions speak for themselves.
>>     Year ago, this was promoted by ISOC - in fact there was even talk of some
>>     video equipment to be shared with Chapters so they could stream their
>>     event with better quality picture etc. But in recent years, the Chapters
>>     have seen all of this taken away from them and replaced with... nothing
>>     but bureaucracy to stop them from utilising the resource.

>>     Not convinced?
>>     Check this: https://isoc.live/
>>     And this: https://livestream.com/internetsociety - 24 000 followers

>>
>>     All done by one person working with the Internet Society Chapters.
>>
>>     A bargain at $64K all included. But you might ask - "I thought ISOC does
>>     not have the money?"
>>     The Internet Society is receiving $30M per annum from PIR.
>>     The Internet Society foundation is receiving $30M per annum from PIR too.
>>     And you're telling me there is no funding for a sum that constitutes
>>     0.21% of that $30M budget?
>>     0.1% of the total budget Internet Society + Internet Society Foundation?
>>
>>     *Think about it and vote YES to ask the Board to reinstate funding for
>>     ISOC.LIVE*
>>
>>     And vote - because if you don't, it's like voting no. ISOC.LIVE will no
>>     longer be funded and you'll only have yourselves to blame for losing the
>>     opportunity to showcase your Chapter's activities.
