I founded an ISOC chapter some years ago among others to see how users
could provide input to the standards development process. However, there
is no mechanism to consult, collect and present such information in an
organized way.

You could say that, as an ISOC trustee, I would need to submit a
proposal to the board, and this is exactly what I intend to do. Keep in
mind though that those volunteers in chapters may expect that some
consideration and feedback is being given to their (sometimes non
technical) comments. If they are by default considered irrelevant,
hobbyist rubbish, this may kill the process in the egg.

Part of the goal of this discussion, for me, is to see how the IETF
community welcomes such a proposal. If I get the impression that it is
not supported, I won't spend more time on it.
