To the IETF Community:

The Internet Society (ISOC) Board of Trustees is considering several updates to the \
ISOC bylaws and welcomes input on the proposed changes from the IETF community.

The changes are intended to clear up some confusing features of the current bylaws; \
take advantage of a change in the regulations concerning electronic voting in \
Washington, DC where the Society is incorporated; use more consistent terminology; \
and, correct a few typographical errors. The changes do not materially alter the \
intent of the existing bylaws.

Of particular interest to the IETF community will be this change regarding IETF \
appointees to the ISOC board:

Bylaws Change 2: Making vacancy processes consistent.
This proposed change extends the same timeline for filling any vacancies among IETF \
appointees to the ISOC board, as is provided for trustees elected by ISOC's Chapters \
and Organizational Members.

Comments regarding this and the other proposed bylaws changes should be sent to the \
ISOC Board at 

   <bylaws-update@elists.isoc.org>

by Monday, 16 May at 17:00 UTC.

Bob Hinden
Chair, ISOC Board of Trustees
