New consitution, new ISOC-ZA!

9 April, 2019 (17:15) | Community, Events, Membership | By: Alan

On March 28 2019 the AGM of the ISOC-ZA was held at Sotano on Bree St.

Chairman welcomed members to the meeting and delivered Chairmans report which included a recommendation by the committee to split the functions of our organisation.
There were extensive discussions and subsequent acknowledgement that some confusion that may ensue. There was support for the name to be used as ISOC-ZA. Consensus agreement was finally reached for splitting the organisation into Internet South Africa to handle the Internet Society Chapter function, following the precedent name change of other Chapters like Australia and New Zealand. And for ISOC-ZA to continue handling the primary purpose to service the internet community and society of South Africa, ideally in pursuit of lower cost broadband for the poor.  

The proposed constitutional amendments were agreed:

Internet South Africa constitution 2019

Internet Society of South Africa constitution 2019
