<div>February 2024: Proposed questions for ISOC Board Candidates from Dave Burstein. <br />
<br />
==Introduction==<br />
To determine our vote, I think we should send each candidate a set of questions about the important issues facing ISOC. Suggestions welcome. Change freely but let's get them done<br />
<br />
==On Chapters & Membership:==<br />
* The Chapters Committee recommended that a small part of the ISOC budget, initially 3%, be allocated to active chapters to spend in furtherance of the ISOC mission. How can we make this happen? <br />
<br />
* How can we bring in more involvement from China, between 25% & 40% of global Internet users? Also, from the Arab world.<br />
<br />
==On ISOC policy:==<br />
* Should most ISOC policy be made in an open, transparent fashion, openly discussed and reflect the opinions of the membership and chapters? <br />
(Andrew has said some discussions with governments are most effective if kept private. That's a small fraction.)<br />
<br />
* Should the interests of the global South, more than 2/3rds of the global Internet, play an important role in ISOC's policymaking and decisions?<br />
<br />
* When ISOC is interacting with a specific government on policy, should the staff work with the local chapters whenever practical?<br />
<br />
* Should there be a way for members & chapters to get involved when we believe ISOC policy proposals are a mistake?<br />
<br />
==On ISOC operations== <br />
<br />
* Except on confidential matters, should ISOC be as open and transparent as practical?<br />
<br />
* Should ISOC - perhaps through a board committee - review all our programs to see which are working? <br />
(Zero-based budgeting is a good way to overcome institutional inertia. We're spending money on some things that haven't been effective for a while.)<br />
<br />
* Should ISOC payrates be comparable to other public interest advocacy groups in D.C.? <br />
<br />
==ISOC Elections==<br />
* Should candidates have a way to robustly communicate with the voters?<br />
<br />
* Should all sectors be expected to seek diversity in nominations?<br />
<br />
==In addition==<br />
In addition, should we ask candidates for reelection to describe their record on these issues?</div>Jolyhttps://isoc-ny.org/wiki/Board_meeting_-_February_26_2024Board meeting - February 26 20242024-02-26T23:42:49Z<p>Joly: </p>
