[Chapter-delegates] Internet Society Foundation meeting F34

[Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond]

Dear Ted,

I have followed with interest the recent Internet Society and Internet 
Society Foundation Board meetings. I had a question relating to a couple 
of Internet Society Foundation Resolutions.
https://www.isocfoundation.org/meeting-agenda/f34-agenda/

Quoting the resolutions:

*9. Approval of Various Foundation Governing Documents – Sally* *Wentworth*

*a. Extraordinary Grant Investment Request Policy*

Resolution F2025-X: Approve Amendments to the Extraordinary Grant 
Investment Request Policy

/WHEREAS, via Resolution F2021-16, the Internet Society Foundation Board 
of Trustees adopted an Extraordinary Grant Investment Request Policy 
outlining and authorizing specific actions the Executive Director could 
take;/

/WHEREAS, due to the recent restructuring of the Executive Director 
role, policy details have been updated;/

/RESOLVED, that the Internet Society Foundation Board of Trustees hereby 
adopts the amendments to the Extraordinary Grant Investment Request 
Policy as presented./

*b. Signature Authority and Delegation of Authority Policy*

Resolution F2025-X: Approve Amendments to the Signature Authority and 
Delegation of Authority Policy

/WHEREAS, via Resolution F2022-17, the Internet Society Foundation Board 
of Trustees adopted a Signature Authority and Delegation of Authority 
Policy outlining and authorizing specific actions the Executive Director 
could take;/

/WHEREAS, due to the recent restructuring of the Executive Director 
role, policy details have been updated;/

/RESOLVED, that the Internet Society Foundation Board of Trustees hereby 
adopts the amendments to the Signature Authority and Delegation of 
Authority Policy as presented./

I looked back at F2021-16 and F2022-17:
( https://www.isocfoundation.org/board-of-trustees/resolutions/ )

Quoting:

/*Resolution F2021-16: Adopt Extraordinary Grant/Investment Request Policy*/

/WHEREAS the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and the Executive Director 
of the ISOC Foundation occasionally receive grant or investment funding 
requests outside of the approved budget and the ordinary grant request 
process,/

/RESOLVED, that the Board hereby adopts the Extraordinary 
Grant/Investment Request Policy for the ISOC Foundation, attached hereto 
as exhibit A./

/*Resolution F2022-17: Adopt Signature Authorization and Delegation of 
Authority Policy*/

/WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees has general authority under applicable 
statutes and the Internet Society Foundation by-laws to enter into all 
contracts to which the Internet Society Foundation may be a party, and 
may delegate such authority to one or more Authorized Signatories for 
the day-to-day management of the Internet Society Foundation; and/

/WHEREAS, a policy regarding signature authorization and delegation of 
authority will promote the efficient operation of the Internet Society 
Foundation and establish sound internal controls where only individuals 
with properly delegated signature authority are able to commit the 
Internet Society Foundation to binding obligations and execute contracts 
on behalf of the Internet Society Foundation;/

/RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees hereby adopts the Signature 
Authorization and Delegation of Authority Policy as presented./

--- End Quote ---

Unfortunately "Exhibit A" is not comprised in the Minutes, and by the 
way, neither are any "Exhibits" attached to any Resolution, thus are the 
Resolutions, in your view, complete when the majority of them are 
referring to Exhibits that are not made public?

And then "as presented" is also not made available publicly.

So what are the changes that were voted by the Board in regards to the 
"Extraordinary Grant/Investment Request Policy" and the "Signature 
Authority and Delegation of Authority Policy"?

Kindest regards,

Olivier Crépin-Leblond
