<div>Dear All,</div> <div> </div> <div>To build a meaningful and dynamic relation between ISOC and Chapters, it is important to understand why the mechanism (particularly Chapters at country level) is not working in many countries.</div> <div> </div> <div>Few issues already discussed but I think we should focus more on the strategy like establishing Regional Node of ISOC and resource mobilization to support activties at chapters level.</div> <div> </div> <div>Hope initiating activities at country level with support from ISOC will make the relation more effective. Moreover, this will help the chapters to mobile more resources from other local sources.</div> <div> </div> <div>Remain to see some vibrant steps from ISOC.</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks,</div> <div>Shahid Uddin Akbar</div> <div>ISOC Bangladesh Chapter<BR><BR><B><I>Khaled KOUBAA <khaled.koubaa@topnet.tn></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT:
5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Dear Franck and colleagues,<BR><BR>After doing some benchmarking work about what others community and<BR>organisations do with their chapters, I would like to propose those ideas :<BR><BR>- The regional bureau is a good initiative, the Chapter has to keep a<BR>permanent liaison and the regional bureau staff informed of its upcoming<BR>activities.<BR>- ISOC HQ should provide ISOC materials for events, and can help organize<BR>and promote chapter's activities.<BR>- ISOC HQ have contacts of government officials/agencies, organizations<BR>related to Internet interests, colleges and universities, and the media to<BR>help a chapter's efforts reach a wide audience.<BR>- Web hosting is an important thing for chapters and many of them will be<BR>happy that ISOC HQ can offer a free web hosting.<BR>- ISOC HQ should delegate the DNS management of sub-domain as tn.isoc.org to<BR>interested chapters.<BR>- It is important also that
ISOC HQ know what's going on in the Chapters.<BR>Chapters should communicate with the staff, other chapters, and with the<BR>Board as much as possible to continually include/recruit/inform other<BR>members, and reduce duplication of effort. Actual communication tools are<BR>not sufficient and not used at 100%. For example I never met more Franck in<BR>the Jabber ISOC Conference room. Franck was very active in this issue; he<BR>writes always on the chapters delegates and always connected on Jabber.<BR>- We know that most of us are aware that money is needed in addition to the<BR>energy of our members. ISOC HQ may do more efforts in fundraising and the<BR>project funding may be generalized and be a permanent call for project for<BR>amounts more than 10000 $, and each case will be analyzed by a Grants<BR>Administrator.<BR>- Chapters should send a monthly report of the project's finances for as<BR>long as the project takes. Inadequate reporting could result in
the<BR>dissolution of the Chapter.<BR>- A guidelines ( on communications, policy, net etiquette, privacy, ... )and<BR>some training on how to manage a chapter and fundraising should be<BR>programmed in each reach region and each regional bureau should help on this<BR>action.<BR><BR>I hope that those ideas may help on the development of our organisation.<BR><BR>Regards.<BR><BR>Khaled KOUBAA<BR>President ISOC Tunisia<BR><BR><BR>-----Message d'origine-----<BR>De : chapter-delegates-bounces@elists.isoc.org<BR>[mailto:chapter-delegates-bounces@elists.isoc.org] De la part de<BR>chapter-delegates-request@elists.isoc.org<BR>Envoyé : mercredi 6 septembre 2006 18:00<BR>À : chapter-delegates@elists.isoc.org<BR>Objet : Chapter-delegates Digest, Vol 16, Issue 3<BR><BR>Send Chapter-delegates mailing list submissions to<BR>chapter-delegates@elists.isoc.org<BR><BR>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web,
