Dear all,

Enclosed are the  comments from Slovenia chapter membership:


WE understand that he key aspects are the expansion—or more precise 
definition—of obligations and a different approach to performance 
assessment. Our main concern or criticism is essentially that an 
organization could be doing important professional work yet receive a 
lower rating due to a small volunteer team, succession issues, or a lack 
of time to demonstrate impact. As ISOC Slovenia, we could, for instance, 
call for: - clear criteria, weightings, and forms of evidence tailored 
to the organization's size and local context; - a distinction between 
developmental assessment and the mandatory requirements for maintaining 
status and funding; - recognition of existing evidence—such as 
professional positions, publications, institutional responses, and 
project reports—without duplication; - feasible term limits and 
exceptions regarding residency (to the proposed rule requiring officers 
and board members to reside in their chapter's country), accompanied by 
a sufficiently long transition period; - an overview of how comments 
were addressed, clearly indicating what was accepted, rejected, or 
modified. Regards, Borka
