The Internet Society Advisory Council Meetings
----------------------------------------------
Held at INET'94
---------------
The Internet Society (ISOC) Advisory Council (AC) met twice at INET'94,
June 14th and 15th, 1994. Twenty Four (24) ISOC AC members attended (of
which three were the secondary member) representing 22 Organizational
Members. The ISOC AC representatives at the meetings voted to express
their views on four concerns via Recommendations to the ISOC Board of
Trustees (BOT) and to start efforts on eight work packages as described
below. An ISOC AC member was assigned to oversee the effort on each work
package.
One of the work packages was the election of four Officers. These four
Officers would then establish positions (such as Chairperson) among
themselves. A plan was established to allow the first two weeks after
INET'94 to be used by the ISOC Executive Director's office to update the
ISOC mailing list; followed by a two week period to obtain nominations
and conclude with a two week voting period to be conducted by the ISOC
Executive Director. ISOC AC member, C. 'Joe' Pasquariello
(pasquarc@ims.disa.mil), will oversee this work package. Nominations
should be turned into the ISOC Executive Director, Tony Rutkowski
(amr@isoc.org).
NOTE: The plan is running a week behind schedule. Joe Pasquarciello will
need to establish and publish to the ISOC AC mailing list the new
nomination period, voting period and when the results will be announced.
The ISOC AC decided that meeting only once per year was not adequate and
that other meetings should be called as needed typically using IETF
meetings as a common meeting place. The IETF meeting to be held in San
Francisco December 5th through the 9th, 1994 was targeted as the next
ISOC AC meeting.
The following ISOC AC Recommendations were voted on and presented to the
ISOC BOT:
1) Recommend that the ISOC AC be allowed to seat one third (1/3) of the
positions on the ISOC BOT.
For: 9
Against: 7
Abstained: 3
2) Recommend that the ISOC AC appoint four ex-officio (non-voting)
liaison members to the BOT and request that the BOT appoint one or
more return liaison(s) to the ISOC AC.
For: 18
Against: 0
Abstained: 1
3) Recommend that when the ISOC budget is presented to the ISOC BOT,
this budget should also be presented in full to the ISOC AC for
Comments.
For: 18
Against: 1
Abstained: 0
4) Recommend that the special status of the Charter ISOC Members be
revoked, while recognizing their contribution.
For: 10
Against: 2
Abstained: 7
Note: The voting results for the recommendations above was based on the
ISOC AC designated voting representative at the first ISOC AC meeting,
June 14th, and did not include the views of the ISOC AC members that
were in the ISOC BOT meeting being conducted at the same time or the
ISOC AC members not at INET'94. Other ISOC AC members are encouraged to
respond to this report with their views and how they would have voted.
o The initial discussion at the ISOC AC meeting which lead to a strong
consensus was that the AC would seek to become an active, influential and
supportive organization within ISOC.
o Concerning the four "Recommendations to the ISOC Board of Trustees (BOT)",
we agreed to send a more detail explanation out for each proposal in
the form of a "Specific Ballot" for each Recommendation with a matching
statement from the BOT with their view on the matter to solicit input
from all ISOC AC Memebers and voting from each Organizational Member.
I will ask the ISOC AC member that proposed each of these
"Recommendations" to write up a detailed explaniation, ask the BOT to add
their input and views and then get Tony to publish each "Special Ballot"
to the AC list.
o The BOT was requested and they agreed to report back on a monthly basis
on the 15th of the month on the resolutions to the four "Recommendations
to the ISOC Board of Trustees (BOT), until resolved.
ISOC AC Work Packages:
1) Tradeshows at INET Conferences:
Should tradeshows be allowed at INET Conferences and if so what rules
should apply.
