Internet Society Board of Trustees Meeting 165
A
A
C
Thank
you.
The
audit
committee
met
with
our
auditors
earlier
this
week
and
last
week
to
review
the
their
report
on
the
financials
of
isaac.
The
overall
statement
is
the
our
finances
are
in
good
shape.
The
the
major
finding
of
the
auditors
is
there's.
There
are
some
inconsistencies
in
specific
accounting
treatments
among
isoc
and
the
pir
and
ietf
on
a
few
matters,
so
that
was
flagged
as
a
saline
for
follow-up
with
the
finance
staff
in
the
audit
committee
for
for
the
coming
year.
C
Because
of
some
of
these
working
out
these
inconsistencies.
We
don't
have
the
completely
final
report
yet,
but
we
expect
that
only
to
differ
in
one
minor
detail,
so
I'm
going
to
recommend
that
we
go
ahead
and
vote
based
on
the
report
we've
been
provided.
So
I'd
like
to
move
that
we
accept
the
auditor's
report.
A
A
C
C
C
The
good
news
is:
we've
had
a
very
productive
relationship
with
bdo
and
this
their
first
year
as
our
auditors
and
they've
offered
to
help
us
in
this
training.
So
I
think
we've
got
good
possibilities
there
and
louise
has
graciously
agreed
to
chair
for
the
audit
committee
next
year
and
in
the
interest
of
continuity,
he's
been
involved
in
a
lot
of
the
chair
discussions
this
year.
So
far,
so
that's
the
report
of
the
audit
committee.
A
C
No,
I
think,
adding
and
backfilling
would
be
a
good
idea
as
a
general
practice,
because
there's
basically
two
moments
where
this
committee
has
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
One
is
in
the
fall
when
we
review
the
990
and
one
is
in
the
spring
when
we
review
the
financial
statement
audit,
so
making
sure
that
we
have
good
staffing
at
those
moments
in
the
committee's
life
is,
is
the
important
thing
and,
like
I
said,
the
more
we
can
have
continuity
better,
but
you
know
having
good
eyes
on
all
this
is
is
also
important.
A
A
E
The
role
of
of
of
ceo-
is
actually
being
two
specific
responsibilities,
one,
the
the
technical,
visionary
leadership
that
would
be
more
of
an
out-facing
capability
and
one
that
would
be
more
of
an
administrative
or
inward
facing
capability
and
started
breaking
the
skills
up
in
the
into
categories.
So
the
the
the
goal
here
is
to
start
thinking
about
what
are
the
what's
the
emphasis
that
the
you
know
that
we
would
want
to
put
into
into
that
role
and
asking
the
board
and
next
year's
committee
to
start
thinking
about.
E
A
A
B
A
F
Yeah,
so
the
remains
of
the
elections
committee.
Well,
the
in
the
committee
in
the
report.
There
is
a
narrative
about
the
the
process
and
this
process
happened
without
any
major
incident,
not
even
a
a
problem
regarding
in
the
the
the
the
election,
as
you
have
noticed.
Well,
maimuna
diop
resigned.
So
then
the
I
finished
this
report
and
the
as
a
result
of
the
elections
process.
F
F
We
may
take
these
points
into
account
for
future
processes
related
to
elections,
and
we
appreciate
a
lot,
the
the
the
work
of
the
staff
in
this
process
to
make
it
seamless
and
with
all
the
technological
aids
and,
of
course,
we
appreciate
a
lot.
The
help
and
aid
from
kevin
who
really
made
this
process
happen
in
that
way.
Seamless.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
The
next
is
the
executive
committee
report.
This
is
in
indeed,
quite
short,
so
kevin,
if
you
would
put
it
up
essentially
all
it
says,
is
the
executive
committee
never
found
it
necessary
to
meet
during
the
course
of
the
year
it
is
set
to
meet
only
in
the
occasions
when
it
is
impossible
or
impractical
for
the
full
board
to
to
meet
or
to
take
an
electronic
vote
and
neither
condition
having
occurred
during
the
course
of
the
past
year.
The
executive
committee
never
met.
A
A
A
D
A
G
Yeah,
thank
you.
Well.
The
purpose
of
the
nominations
committee,
as
you
know,
is
to
submit
two
slates
one
for
chapters
and
one
for
organization
members
to
be
voted
on
and
to
be
processed,
the
votes
to
be
processed
by
the
elections
committee
and
that
report
you've
already
heard
it's
one
of
the
few
committees
which
have
non-board
members
on
it.
G
In
fact,
in
this
this
year
a
minority
of
board
members
and
a
majority
of
non-board
members
and
the
purpose
of
the
non-board
members
we
interpret-
is
to
widen
our
network
of
potential
candidates
so
that
we
can
make
not
only
make
available
the
information
about
the
nomination,
the
election
process
to
the
more
members,
but
also
recruit
specific
candidates
from
those
who
we
know.
So
we
do
we.
We
essentially
leverage
those
additional
networks
and
it
worked
quite
well.
G
We
got
a
late
start
this
year
in
part
because
of
now
selecting
the
nominating
committee,
the
non-board
members,
but
we
encourage
starting
the
process
as
rapidly
as
possible
so
that
you
have
maximum
time
this
year
to
both
to
solicit
candidates
and
to
discuss
them
and
in
the
committee
to
to
form
the
slates
that
are
really
advantageous
for
increasing
the
board,
skills
and
diversity
thanks
to
kevin
for
all
his
help.
The
staff
work
is
important
in
this
case
and,
and
he
delivered
very
very
well
indeed,
thanks.
That's
the
end
of
my
report.
A
A
A
Society's
2022
action
plan
consider
implementations
of
policies
and
procedures
to
increase
board
diversity
and
improve
structures
of
consultation
along
the
lines
of
those
suggested
in
the
recent
open
forums
on
governance
reform
and
support
the
evolution
of
the
relationship
of
the
internet
society
and
the
internet
society
foundation.
As
a
supporting
organization.
A
A
A
We
have
been
up
up
until
the
the
past
few
years,
where
our
geographic
rotation
has
been
entirely
virtual
and
therefore
more
a
matter
of
time
zones
than
anything
else.
The
it
has
been
something
that
historically,
the
the
board
has
considered,
given
that
it
is
largely
a
matter
of
time
zone.
Since
most
people
who
attend
the
meetings
do
so
virtually
I.
A
I
will
point
out
that
the
availability
of
the
the
youtube
channel
for
later
review
of
it
also
means
that,
to
some
degree,
this
is
more
a
sense
of
whether
the
geographic
rotation
also
gives
you
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
with
groups
outside
the
board.
That
might
otherwise
not
be
people
with
whom
we
could
consult
and
in.
In
a
related
note,
some
have
considered
the
isec
board
co-locating
one
of
the
regular
annual
meetings
with
the
igf.
A
H
A
Right
so
the
annual
board
retreat
is
generally
held
as
a
standalone
meeting,
so
that
the
trustees
can
focus
on
strategy
or
big
picture
issues
without
the
distraction
of
the
co-located
events
and
september
has
historically
been
when
that
has
been
held.
That
might
be
actually
a
bit
late
this
year
since
we're
seating.
The
new
trustees
a
bit
earlier
than
normal.
A
This
particular
icann
is,
is
early
in
in
the
year
compared
to
to
many
when
sometimes
july
or
late
august,
and
so
september
is
actually
a
number
of
months
post
seating.
So
we
could
consider
bringing
that
in,
although
I
will
tell
you
that
trying
to
bring
it
into
august
begins
to
run
into
a
lot
of
difficulties
with
scheduling
next
slide.
Please
so
here
are
some
of
the
options
in
front
of
us.
Are
there
thoughts
people
wish
to
share
at
this
time?.
A
It's
it's
certainly
up
to
the
board
to
decide
that,
so
if
there
was
a
reason
for
the
board
to
pick
a
place
to
do
it
historically,
I
think
doing
it
at
isaac
headquarters
has
proven
to
have
some
advantages,
because
if
there
are
going
to
be
consultations
with
staff,
the
staff
are
largely
concentrated
there.
But,
as
you
know,
the
staff
are
also
quite
geographically
dispersed
in
some
instances.
So
it's
not
necessarily
the
case
that
any
particular
staff
member
will
be
based
there.
It's
just
that.
It's
the
largest
cluster.
F
I
A
J
You
know
a
little
bit
tricky
and
I
will
point
out
that
we
will
not
have
all
of
the
excellent
guidance
next
year
that
we
have
historically
had
in
running
board
logistics.
So
that
may
be
something
that
we
want
to.
We
want
to
take
into
consideration
and
maybe
give
ourselves
a
little
more
time
in
the
for
the
agm
date.
A
So
last
year
we
nailed
the
dates
down
in
stone
and
we
said
maybe
we'll
meet
in
person.
Maybe
it
will
be
virtual
that
will
be
up
to
the
pandemic
and
other
matters
arising,
but
we
know
that
these
are
the
dates
and
that
gave
everybody
the
chance
to
to
really
block
off
that
time
on
their
schedule
as
as
firmly
as
possible,
where,
if
we
say
well,
it
might
be
here
or
it
might
be
there
until
later
in
the
year.
