Petition Statement of Ronald J. Fitzherbert, CCP

Greetings,

Many of you know me through email either on various lists or from past ISOC election years. I do appologize for taking up some of your valuable time but I do hope that you will grant me the moment it will take to read and possibly respond to this email.

I would ask for your support in my effort to have my name placed upon the ballot for the 1999 ISOC Board of Trustees election. The nominating committee has already presented an extremely well qualified slate of candidates for your consideration. I however, would ask that you also allow my name to be placed in front of the membership for their consideration.

I have been involved in the Internet specifically for the last five or so years, and was on-line in some form for five years prior to that. My original involvement was with the US Department of Education where I worked on the initial agency wide deployment of networked computers and access to the Internet. I then spent several years as the Internet manager and webmaster for the Office of the United States Trade Representative. Currently I work for Trilogy Development Group in network management with my primary focus on network infrastructure and Internet connectivity issues.

During this time I have also run my own company that provides "interactive electronic communications". I designed the initial network architecture for the company that later became VerioDC. I served five years on the board of directors of Arlington Community Access Corporation with two years as President. I served on the national board of the Alliance for Community Media for a year. I am a member of the Policy Advisory Board to the gTLD-MOU (and a signatory of the gTLD-MOU), am member of the IEEE, the AIP and of course the ISOC.

I feel that with my background in working with Internet related issues in areas ranging from governmental organizations, large and small businesses and individuals that I have a broad and well rounded view that would be an asset to the ISOC. I also have extensive experience with non-profit boards and what serving means. The next three years are going to be hard, we have some tough times ahead as we resolve the domain name issues, as we implement IPv6, as we deal with any Y2K fall-out, as we continue to connect the world and all of the thousands of other issues that we will face. I would gladly serve to represent the membership of the ISOC as well as the entire Internet community.

If you feel that I should have my name placed upon the 1999 ballot, please send me an email message indicating your support of my petition no later than 22 January 1999.

Thank you for your time and again, I apploigize for the intrusion.

I am candidate for the ISOC Trustee Elections. I accept to be nominated thru a petition process.

Thru my 10 years working in different african countries and my entrepreneurs coaching experienced, I believe that the only way for African countries to emmerge asap is that the African entrepreneurs should jump on the Internet tolls opportunities to export. In fact by exporting more and more this will create real jobs and ....

By beeing an ISOC official board member I can ask the help of all The Golden Members to participate in my mission. I am ready to travel 6 months by year in the diffrent African countries to accomplish this mission.

3. Manuel Sanroma

The Chair of the Nominating Committee

Dear Sir,

This is to express my will to be nominated through the petition process established by our Society. At this moment I am in the process of gathering the 68 signatures needed in the petition process and I intend to send you a formal petition, along with the signatures, no later than next January 21st.

I include a brief statement of interest which I will further develop once and if I am nominated as a candidate.

Manuel Sanroma. Born 1956 in Tarragona (Catalonia, Spain).B.Sc. 1978 in Physics. Ph.D. 1982 in Astronomy (University of Barcelona). Fulbright Fellow in 1981-1982 in the U.S. Different research and teaching positions at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya and the Universitat de Barcelona (1983-1990). Since 1991 professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Tarragona and Chairman of the Computer Engineering Department. Became involved in the social development of the Internet as founder of TINET, the first Spanish Freenet. Since then has participated in the establishment of the Catalan Chapter of ISOC (the first in Spain), of the European Association for Community Networking, and of XANETA (one of the first European academic networks devoted to research in and about the Net). He is currently acting as an advisor of the Catalan Government in the Society and Culture aspects of the development of the Information Society.

Being a Catalan (and thus a Spaniard, a Mediterranean, an European an a Latin) I think I understand very well what the Net could and should represent in the Global-Local dialectics. Having two mother languages (Catalan and Spanish), being culturaly influenced and fluent in two others (French and English) and being able to understand at least four others (Gallician, Portuguese, Italian and German) I believe that languages are a patrimony of Humankind and therefore also of the Net. Being active in the field of Community Networking I do think that "real" communities (geographical, linguistic, cultural,...) have an important place in the Net; that Information is important but so is Communication; that access to both is a new basic right of 21st century's citizens. As an active member of an ISOC Chapter, and with 35 ISOC Chapters and 42 in the making, I do believe that the *Local* activity of ISOC Chapters ought to have its projection in the life and structure of the *Global* ISOC

Therefore, if I am nominated as a candidate I will focus on three main topics:
-Community Networks and its role in the construction of the Information Society
-ISOC Local Chapters and its role in the redefinition of our Internet Society
-A multilingual and multicultural Internet as a paradigm of a human Net

Sincerely yours

Manuel Sanroma

5. Marty Burack

It is my intention to gather sufficient petition "signatures" to have my name placed on the ballot as a candidate for the Board of Trustees.

These next couple of years will be among the most critical for both the Internet and the Internet Society. The industry is consolidating.  Governments continue to try to restrict access, usage, and privacy. ISOC is positioned to have its greatest surge in membership. The  challenges will be significant.

For the past two years, I have been privileged to help create financial  and operational stability for ISOC, as its Executive Director. There is still a lot that needs to be done and, at this point in time, I think my strongest contribution to the continued growth of ISOC would be as a Trustee. Therefore, I am running for the Board of Trustees and asking for your support. As a Trustee, I will focus on policy issues and on helping ISOC management raise funds and obtain other needed resources.

Since I do not feel that ISOC employees should be Board members, I will be resigning my position as Executive Director.My immediate task is to obtain the "signatures" of 68 current ISOC members who support my petition to be on the ballot as a candidate. I hope you will support this effort, and will send me an email in which you say that. I would appreciate it if you would also encourage other ISOC members to send me emails of support. Below are some of my beliefs and why I feel you should support my candidacy.

Regards,

Marty Burack

---------------

Membership Growth and Benefits

ISOC must increase the number of individual members so that it has the  large numbers that create a power base of support needed to be influential in the future of the Internet. There appears to be sufficient funding for ISOC to take additional steps to make its mission, programs, and principles known to a much larger segment of the Internet community, and I will continue to support management's efforts  to do so. It will be difficult, though, to attain the needed growth if ISOC does not expand its member-benefits program along the lines that other comparable and successful professional membership organizations have implemented. In my capacity as Executive Director, I initiated the first member benefits program and will encourage and support ISOC management in the expansion of benefits that are meaningful to our current and prospective membership.

Membership Participation

Membership growth is only one area for improvement. We also need members to be involved. To encourage that, we must continue to create mechanisms that enable members to actively participate in ISOC programs and to provide input to ISOC management and its Board. Examples include the recent implementation of ISOC members-only discussion groups, and the soon to be released member surveys. I played a strong role in both of those. I was also instrumental in setting up the members only section of the web site and in obtaining the technical resources which will enable ISOC (in the next few months) to password protect it and to link it to our membership data base. This will enable ISOC to greatly increase the quantity and quality of the content, as well as use that area to provide more interactions with and between the members. That will lead to a growing pool of prospective volunteers, officers and Trustees. I also managed the enhancement of the look, ease of use, and standards of the ISOC web site. This has helped significantly increase the traffic (currently as many as 25,000 visitors per week), and will result in attracting more members to ISOC.

Education

ISOC's Network Training Workshop program for internetworking in developing countries is one of the finest contributions ISOC has made to the growth of the Internet. There is a need to greatly expand the program to help narrow the technology gap between the wealthier countries and the rest of the world. Our K-12 Educators' Workshop is  another fine contribution to the growth and well being of the Internet, and in the education of children. As I have done in my current position, I will help obtain the resources to expand these programs.

IETF

The Internet Engineering Task Force is our basic reason for being, and we must never lose sight of that. There is an ongoing need to support the IETF, IAB, IESG, and IRTF financially and in any other way we can, and they can count on my help to do so.

Chapters

Many chapters have been formed in the last two years, and I was able to assist most of those efforts. I have also encouraged and supported most of the chapters currently in formation. Chapters are one of the best ways of involving and benefiting the members. I favor a large increase in their number and will continue to help in whatever way I can. ISOC's strength comes from being an international organization with a single  policy voice that reflects its principles and is not the voice of any single country or area. That must continue for some time to come, with the policy set by a Board of Trustees elected by the worldwide

Membership.

I do not wish to see ISOC become fragmented by becoming a federation of sovereign chapters, as some would have us do, and whose members would owe their allegiance to the chapters and not to ISOC. There may be a need for such an organization, but that group is not ISOC. ISOC cannot speak with a separate voice for each of the 150 countries where we have members, or ISOC's influence and ability to protect the Internet will diminish to the point of insignificance. Special Interest Groups (SIGs) I will also encourage the formation of Special Interest Groups so that members can focus across local and national boundaries on issues that are of particular interest to them. ISOC has a SIG dealing with access to the Internet for the disabled, and some of the chapters have SIGs. With more SIGs, members will have greater opportunities to network, be  involved, and make an impact regardless of where they may live and whether or not a chapter is in the area.

ISOC Staff

There is a good staff of dedicated people on board, and a lot gets done with far too few resources. A large part of my early focus will be on helping management and other Trustees grow the funding and resources needed to build the staff and to give them more tools. That will help ensure that ISOC will be able to continue to carry out its fundamental mission, and be responsive to its membership.

**********
Dear the Chair and members of the Nominating Committee,
Dear members of ISOC,

This is a message to show my intention to run as a candidate for the election for the ISOC Board of Trustees through the petition process established by Internet Society.

China have connected with Internet and joined the Internet Family since 1994. In the past four years, the growth of the Internet and their users in China is very quick. Until the end of 1998, the Internet have reached all of the major cities and there are more than 1.5 million Internet users in China. But comparing with their population, 1.2 billion and the number of the computers they have owned, 12 million, there are small numbers of the Internet users in China, almost one in a thousand people and one in a hundred computers. So we will have many works to do for the Internet development in China.

As one of the major Internet promoters in China, I have been involved in the Internet specifically for the more than five years. As a director  of technical board and network center of CERNET, China Education and Research Network that is the largest academic network in China,  I know that the best way, in which we understand, communicate with and learn from the Internet Society to promote the Internet development in China, would be more participation in the Internet Society and involvement in their various activities.

If you think my mission can help the Internet development in China, Please give me a support. At this moment I am in the process of gathering the 68 signatures needed in the petition process. If you have any questions, please contact me directly. If you are ready to support my petition, just send a short mail, stating your full name, Email address and ISOC membership number, if present, before January 22, 1998.
