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

[K Mohan Raidu]

Dear fellow members and the BOT,ISOC bye-laws may have provided a METHOD of taking decisions for the BOT, which is enabling the BOT decisions.
Yet, when important and key decisions have to be made, please obtain consensus from the Chapters and the ISOC Alumni.Becasue, most often Board decisions follow consensussed opinions.
BOT has a limited tenure but the decisions have a far reaching impact.

  Dear Amrita, 
 It seems that many of the decisions are not taken because ISOC wanted to take them, but because it had to. Andrew has said several times that he had to take them, regardless of his personal feelings or friendships. 
 Perhaps the chapters don't quite understand the reasoning, and maybe this is what needs to get some better explanations?

I join the people in stating that Joly has been providing invaluable support to ISOC chapters and community over the world.His recordings of events, editing them and making them available for all at all times is invaluable.  
  It is really unfortunate that ISOC Org feels cutting down this  cost is beneficial for the organization. 
  Hope staff and the BOT review once again the REAL the impact these recordings make at the global communuty (decision makers, regulators, people working in IG space, young people interested in understanding and advocating issues, etc.)

 The board is my boss.  They can fire me, and they can direct me not to do things, just like any boss can.  If, however, you are in a situation where the board is effectively telling the CEO what to do as part of his/her duties, then you have a broken arrangement.  There's a reason we separate board issues from staff issues, and it is precisely so that the board is not trying to do (as a collective) what is better handled by a single individual who can delegate the operational responsibility.
 
 Best regards,
 
 A
