The purpose of the handbook is to provide instructions, advice, tips, and other useful information for new and developing Chapters. The intention is to make this a "living document," one that will be updated regularly. </div><div><br></div><div>The most recent draft of the handbook is now on the wiki (login required) and available for review. We welcome your feedback, corrections, comments, and suggestions. We also are actively seeking additional examples and best practices to incorporate into the documents, particularly on topics such as fundraising, marketing, membership recruitment, leadership succession, and the use of social media. </div><div><br></div><div>Section 1 - <a href="http://wiki.chapters.isoc.org/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=87">http://wiki.chapters.isoc.org/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=87</a></div><div><a href="http://wiki.chapters.isoc.org/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=87"></a>Section 2 - <a href="http://wiki.chapters.isoc.org/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=88">http://wiki.chapters.isoc.org/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=88</a></div><div><a href="http://wiki.chapters.isoc.org/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=88"></a>Section 3 - <a href="http://wiki.chapters.isoc.org/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=89">http://wiki.chapters.isoc.org/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=89</a></div><div><br></div><div>We have scheduled a meeting with the handbook editorial committee to go over the materials and we would like to invite any Chapter Delegates who are interested in joining us to do so. The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, the 21st of October at UTC 20.00 in the large auditorium on Marratech. You can find a time zone conversion at <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html">http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html</a>. Please let us know if you plan to attend so we can put you on the list. </div><div><br></div><div>At the moment, the materials are available in Word only, but plans are being made to convert them to html when they are completed. They will also be translated into French and Spanish. </div><div><br></div><div>I'd like to thank all of you who took the time to talk to me and to contribute thoughts, ideas, examples, and best practices. We hope to continue making improvements as we move toward completion. </div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>Wendy Rickard</div><div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div>The Rickard Group, Inc.</div><div>intelligent marketing and publishing solutions</div><div>5 Snowden Rd. ~ Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004</div><div>Phone: 609-466-1700 ~ Fax: 610-410-2749</div><div>Skype: wrrickard</div><div><a href="mailto:rickard@rickardgroup.com">rickard@rickardgroup.com</a></div><div><a href="http://www.rickardgroup.com">http://www.rickardgroup.com</a></div><div>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div></div></div></span></div></span></div></span> </div><br></div></div></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div><div>---------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div>Anne Lord, Senior Manager <<a href="mailto:lord@isoc.org">lord@isoc.org</a>></div><div>Chapter & Individual Memberships <a href="http://www.isoc.org">http://www.isoc.org</a></div><div>Internet Society (ISOC) "The Internet is for everyone"</div><div>---------------------------------------------------------------------</div></div><div><br></div></div><br></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></div></body></html>
