style='font-size:11.0pt'>Dear Chapter Delegates:</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'>We have seen, over the past six months, a great
increase in communications on our list. This is wonderful. And as I
mentioned recently, we are considering supplementing this with real-time
discussions. I want to thank you for the helpful comments and suggestions
on how we might do that. However, we are upgrading our IT infrastructure
at present and will not be able to undertake some of the suggestions right
away.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'>In trying to decide how best to start a real-time
meeting to supplement the list we have been considering another tool as well -
I'm interested in your thoughts.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'>The list itself sees a fair number of ideas floated
from time to time. It is difficult to determine which should be seriously
considered and which may be better suited for a future 'wish list'. The
idea of using a blog as a next step for ideas floated on the list has come up.
Here is how it might work.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'>As ideas are floated on the list they can be discussed
but in order to take any such idea to the next level we need it to be filtered
through a more formal process. Anyone involved in the discussion could
volunteer to summarize the discussion, essentially filtering the idea into
something we could consider acting upon. A blog could be used to ask
questions through a template or introductory screen, the purpose of which is to
describe the idea as concretely as possible. Of course, the blog would be
open to chapter delegates.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'>The questions that could be asked include: what is the
purpose of this idea; how will it help ISOC, its chapters, or it members;
describe it in some reasonable detail; estimate the requirements and cost of
implementation; estimate the requirements and cost of technical support; who,
other than staff, do you envision leading or participating in this effort.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'>In turn, we would use the blog as a tracking
mechanism. Every idea submitted would be given serious consideration and
we would report its status and priority to the blog.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'>This is our suggestion on how to manage all the ideas
and suggestions that are floated on this list. What are your comments or
questions about this suggestion?</span></font></p>
