<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>

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
