[Chapter-delegates] ISOC LIVE - the reports of its death are exaggerated, but..

[Joel Okomoli]

Dear ISOC BoT,

I join the good people expressing displeasure with the decision
aforementioned and under discussion for two main reasons:

1. We live in different time zones and it is not possible to sit in live
sessions all the time
2. Some meetings attract above capacity attendance and live streams by
Jolly Mcfie provide the next best alternative

While the BoT and staff are privileged and get paid to sit in meetings or
follow meetings you must also provide an avenue for the community to walk
along this journey even as volunteers and at their own cost. Else I
interpret this as a straight cut back on community participation!

It is also noteworthy that there's increased aggression towards the
community or community initiatives from ISOC Leadership over the last 2
years! What's the problem?

Kindly rescind this decision.
