Internet Society Board of Trustees Meeting 158, 8 July 2021
B
Thank
you
kevin.
So
everyone
welcome
to
the
internet
society's
158th
meeting
a
board
of
trustees
meeting,
and
you
know
this
is
actually
the
last
meeting.
I
will
be
chairing
the
last
official
board
meeting
so
in
the
agm
we
will
be
electing
a
new
chair.
My
my
timer
expires,
so
I'm
actually,
you
know
I'm
quite
excited
to
see
that
and
to
pass
the
torch
to
the
to
the
next
board.
B
So
that's
that's
going
to
be
interesting,
but
before
we
get
to
that,
we
we
have
a
few
reports
to
accept
and
a
few
things
to
approve.
So
without
further
ado.
Let's
welcome
everyone
and
apologies.
We
we
received
regret
from
mike.
If
he
can
join,
he
will,
if
he
cannot,
he
will
not
so
but
anyway,
we
have
quorum
and
all
other
trustees
are
here
and
also
the
new
trustees,
who
will
be
basically
officially
seated
at
the
agm
in
three
weeks.
They
are
here
also
as
observers.
B
B
So
we
are
basically
urging
the
future
board
as
well
to
continue
working
on
that
together
with
the
isoc
foundation,
because,
given
the
constraints
that
we
have
like
the
public
support
test
is
extremely
important
to
to
get
a
diverse
set
of
revenue
sources
and
also
you
know
from
a
risk
perspective.
That
would
be
also
welcome.
So
those
are
the
two
issues
that
we
decided
to
basically
now
have
on
the
proposed
resolution.
B
Any
other
comments
before
we
pass
the
resolution.
Okay,
so
I
will
need
someone
to
move
richer
moves
header
seconds,
okay
and
we're
gonna
pass
this
resolution
start
by
show
of
hands,
so
I
will
be
always
asking
for
three
options.
You
have
three
options
as
usual:
yes,
abstain
and
no,
and
I
will
be
randomly
changing
the
order,
so
you
have
to
pay
attention
so
just
kidding,
I
would
say
always:
yes,
no
and
abstain.
So,
yes,
votes.
Please
raise
your
hand.
B
B
C
B
B
A
B

Given
that
the
auditor's
report
was,
in
fact
the
bulk
of
the
audit
committee's
work
this
year,
I
will
point
back
to
that,
but
also
the
report
talks
about
essentially
looking
at
the
audit
report
as
well
as
looking
at
some
of
the
conflict
of
interest
and
declarations,
and
it
all
went
smoothly.
Excellent.
D
B
B
This
is
just
to
be
ready
because
we
thought
it
is
good
governance
to
be
ready
at
all
points.
So
we
identified
talent.
We
see
the
organization
at
at
least
three
levels:
people
that
they.
Basically
they
can
jump
into
the
ceo
position
if
needed,
because
andrea
wins
the
lottery
and
disappears
in
no
time
then
people
that
they
need.
B
They
are
basically
two
work
experiences
from
from
being
ready
to
take
a
ceo
position,
but
still
you
know
they
are
high
potentials
and
we
want
to
basically
nurture
them
and
have
also
a
development
plan
for
them,
and
also
we
delegate
it
into
andrea
as
well
to
basically
make
sure
that
those
people
they
basically
get
a
proper
development
plan.
So
that
was
basically
the
conclusion
and
this
committee
will
run
every
year
just
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
updated
set
of
candidates,
because
these
things,
you
know
change.
B
B
George
moves
laura
seconds.
Okay
and
yes,
votes.
Please
raise
your
hand,
no
votes
on
abstentions,
okay,
so
the
resolution
passes
unanimously
excellent,
so
moving
on
also
me
the
compensation
committee
report,
so
the
compensation
committee
report
is
worth
mentioning
that
we
changed
a
bit
the
the
tasks,
basically
that
it
has
performed.
So
we
used
to
focus
a
lot
on
on
basically
coming
up,
assessing
well
coming
up
and
assessing
the
results
of
the
of
the
ceos
goals.
B
B
B
Some
of
you
are
slow
kind
of
movers.
So
if
I
misrepresent
your
vote,
just
let
me
know
and-
and
I
will
be
happy
to
to
stand
corrected
otherwise
I
would
ask
jim
that
was
a
delay,
yes
by
some
of
you,
okay,
moving
on
to
point
number
seven
on
the
agenda.
This
is
the
elections
committee
report
and
the
chair
of
the
elections
committee.
This
time
around
was
maimuna,
so
maimuna,
please
introduce
the
report.
E
E
B
B
B
B
You
are
right,
yeah.
So
sorry,
richard
point
number
eight
on
the
agenda
yeah.
I
was
escaping
it.
Sorry,
the
executive
committee.
Basically,
as
as
you
know,
it's
been
inactive
for
the
last
five
years.
We
chose
to
basically
deal
with
many
of
the
things
that
the
executive
committee
used
to
do
at
the
board
level
nowadays
for
transparency's
sake.
So
basically
the
the
committee
is
there
in
case.
We
need
to
to
act
very
quickly.
The
the
executive
committee
is
one
of
those
committees
that
has
the
powers
of
the
board,
but
we
didn't.
B
B
F
F
All
the
all
of
the
excitement
was
around
covet,
like
like
many
other
things,
so
covid
did
have
some
impact
on
the
budget,
for
obviously
we
weren't
able
to
spend
travel
funds
and
things
like
that,
and
so
we
did
a
big
major
rebalancing
that
the
staff
did
really
to
kind
of
keep
accurate
track
of
where
we're
expected
to
be
at
the
end
of
the
year
and
that
that
ended
up
being
like
pretty
accurate.
We
ended
up
under
spent
relative
to
where
we
thought
we
were
initially
but
pretty
close
relative
to
the
reforecast.
F
F
B
F
The
first
part
of
it
is
starting
to
look
a
little
better,
so
we're
still
behind
in
2020
we
were
behind
where
we
thought
we
would
be,
but
where
we
thought
we
would
be
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
But
then,
when
we
reforecast,
we
actually
ended
up
doing
better
than
the
reforecasted
end
of
year.
So
it
seems
like
we're
starting
to
get
better
at
predicting
where
we
can.
What
we
can
execute
and
we're
starting
to
you
know,
bend
the
the
curve
in
the
right
direction.
F
So
I
think
that
the
thing
to
look
forward
to
on
as
we
look
forward
to
the
rest
of
this
calendar
year
is
with
the
budgeting
process,
we're
obviously
continuing
continuing
to
adjust
to
this.
I
I
have
post
question
mark
code,
uncertain
whether
we're
actually
postcoded,
but
you
know,
as
the
realities
continue
to
shift.
B
Thank
you
richard.
Before
the
meeting
we
discussed
a
couple
of
typos
that
they
will
be
fixing
the
report
so
module
of
those
any
discussions,
questions
for
richard
okay.
Thank
you
richard.
I
need
someone
to
move
ted
moves.
Header
seconds,
yes
votes.
Please
raise
your
hands
votes,
abstentions,
okay,
so
the
resolution
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you
good.
So,
moving
on
to
point
number
10
on
the
agenda,
I
don't
think
I
skipped
any
committee
this
time,
which
is
the
governance
committee
and
that's
john
john.
A
Thank
you.
It
was
a
fairly
busy
year
for
the
government,
the
governance
committee,
and
we
did
two
major
things.
One
was
to
clarify
the
conflict
of
interest
policy,
which
turned
out
to
be
important
since
olga
found
that
she
had
she
had
a
failed,
a
fatal
conflict,
and
I
hope
that
now
that
it's
clarified
it
will
be
easier
for
future
boards
to
keep
it
in
mind
and
to
avoid
having
problems
like
this.
A
The
other
thing
we
did
was
actually
alona
did
was
to
go
through
the
go
through
the
bylaws
and
make
them
actually
agree
with
the
relevant
law
and
clarify
the
distinction
between
corporate
officers
and
board
officers,
that's
done
and
looking
forward
to
next
year.
I
think
that
the
bylaws
are
in
good
shape.
A
If
the
governance
reform
committee
actually
produces
anything,
it
will
be
the
governance
committee's
job
to
consider
what
to
do
about
it
and
whether
it's
consistent
with
both
you
know,
isak's
goals
and
good
governance,
but
that
won't
be
my
problem
and
I
look
forward
to
having
someone
else
worry
about
it
if,
at
all.
So
with
that,
I
move
that
we
accept
this
report.
B
No
votes,
abstentions,
pay.
The
resolution
passes
unanimously.
Excellent,
maybe
just
just
one
clarification
on
the
governance
committee,
because
some
of
the
new
trustees
asks
about
that
and
just
for
the
record
that
the
governance
committee
usually
prepares
assessments
and
material
and
everything
for
the
whole
board
to
consider.
A
B
D
First,
let
me
thank
the
rest
of
the
members
of
the
committee
for
the
excellent
work
they
put
in.
It
was
a
fairly
busy
year
for
this
committee
because
we
were
seating.
Four
new
members
of
the
pi
report,
which
is
unusually
large
number
due
to
the
circumstances
of
last
year,
and
a
particular
resignation
that
occurred.
D
We
got
a
gratifyingly
large
number
of
candidates
to
work
with,
went
through
a
number
of
rounds
of
interviews
and
discussions,
and
we
haven't
seated
all
four
at
this
point.
We
have
done
this
with
a
staggered
term
so
that
the
next
pierre
noncon
will
not
have
as
large
a
asset
to
to
have
to
select,
and
hopefully
that
would
be
something
that
we
can
maintain.
B
B
Okay,
so
the
resolution
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you
ted
and
that
basically
takes
us
to
the
end
of
the
official
agenda,
which
was
to
accept
all
the
reports
of
of
the
of
the
different
committees
we
have
and
and
then
just
to
note,
that
we
will.
We
would
basically
have
a
foundation
board
meeting
right
after
this,
where
we
will
be
accepting
the
reports
of
their
committees
and
this
year,
since
it
was
before
we
basically
restructure
the
governance
of
the
foundation.
