New ISOC Consultation Process guidelines
An Internet Society working group recently drafted new guidelines for policy establishment consultations between members, chapters, and the global ISOC organization.
Fundamentals are as follows:
1. The ISOC Principles are shared core values utilized in policy formation but could use a revamp.
2. Policy decisions, even when considered relatively minor, should be shared amongst the parties.
3. Mutual respect for roles and responsibilities are fundamental to a positive collaboration process.
4. Language is a major issue.
5. The concept of subsidiarity should be employed by ISOC participants for consultations.
A simple set of summary guidelines has been provided.
