It is of course deserves support from all to open regional bureaus, as we
learned from ISOC that in Latin America and the Caribbean, there will be
two shortly. But, I am a bit skeptical about the actual impact to the
digitally dropped out countries, as such many in Africa and Asia. I have
not seen much of the outcome through many similar initiatives, frankly
speaking. Perhaps, we are creating critically deepening digital gaps here
and there.<br><br>

Dear All,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Remain to see some vibrant steps from ISOC.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<dd>Dear Franck and colleagues,<br><br>
<dd>After doing some benchmarking work about what others community
and<br>
<dd>organisations do with their chapters, I would like to propose those
ideas :<br><br>
<dd>- The regional bureau is a good initiative, the Chapter has to keep
a<br>
<dd>permanent liaison and the regional bureau staff informed of its
upcoming<br>
<dd>activities.<br>
<dd>- ISOC HQ should provide ISOC materials for events, and can help
organize<br>
<dd>and promote chapter's activities.<br>
<dd>- ISOC HQ have contacts of government officials/agencies,
organizations<br>
<dd>related to Internet interests, colleges and universities, and the
media to<br>
<dd>help a chapter's efforts reach a wide audience.<br>
<dd>- Web hosting is an important thing for chapters and many of them
will be<br>
<dd>happy that ISOC HQ can offer a free web hosting.<br>
<dd>- ISOC HQ should delegate the DNS management of sub-domain as
tn.isoc.org to<br>
<dd>interested chapters.<br>
<dd>- It is important also that ISOC HQ know what's going on in the
Chapters.<br>
<dd>Chapters should communicate with the staff, other chapters, and with
the<br>
<dd>Board as much as possible to continually include/recruit/inform
other<br>
<dd>members, and reduce duplication of effort. Actual communication tools
are<br>
<dd>not sufficient and not used at 100%. For example I never met more
Franck in<br>
<dd>the Jabber ISOC Conference room. Franck was very active in this
issue; he<br>
<dd>writes always on the chapters delegates and always connected on
Jabber.<br>
<dd>- We know that most of us are aware that money is needed in addition
to the<br>
<dd>energy of our members. ISOC HQ may do more efforts in fundraising and
the<br>
<dd>project funding may be generalized and be a permanent call for
project for<br>
<dd>amounts more than 10000 $, and each case will be analyzed by a
Grants<br>
<dd>Administrator.<br>
<dd>- Chapters should send a monthly report of the project's finances for
as<br>
<dd>long as the project takes. Inadequate reporting could result in
the<br>
<dd>dissolution of the Chapter.<br>
<dd>- A guidelines ( on communications, policy, net etiquette, privacy,
... )and<br>
<dd>some training on how to manage a chapter and fundraising should
be<br>
<dd>programmed in each reach region and each regional bureau should help
on this<br>
<dd>action.<br><br>
<dd>I hope that those ideas may help on the development of our
organisation.<br><br>
