I think before talking about bylaw changes, we 
need to figure out what's wrong with the 
organization today (if something), and only then 
think of something else. From ISOC-Bulgaria 
perspective, it would be good if we are involved 
in something more constructive, than arguing how 
many members the board should have, shall we have 
one chair, two co-chairs, or may be just have as 
many co-chairs as we have members. One of the 
reasons for lack of greater participation could 
be that people see how much time is being wasted 
in the process, and they lose interest in participating.

I agree with this as well. And if you start going 
that way, the next (natural) step is to talk with 
my friend, the EU commissioner Meglena Kuneva, 
who is responsible for consumer protection, and 
then involve the Commission, etc., etc.
We should focus on talking to organizations that 
can join the At-Large, which will be better for the Internet.
