Take-aways from Yesterday

• The Advisory Council needs more insight into ISOC
  priorities, issues and discussions to add value
• Need better visibility of Board issues and
  discussion items
• Perhaps read-only access to Board mailing list
  ?
• Perhaps a monthly report by Daniel ?
• Perhaps understanding the Boards work plan?
• Need better visibility of ISOC staff and projects
• Perhaps a monthly report by Lynn, or a monthly
  call ?
• ISOC needs to develop and execute a
  communications plan for the Organization members
• Need some tools (beyond merely e-mail) to enable
  the AC to progress work outside of face to face
  meetings
• This will take some investment in technology, and
  staff time
